Another Huge Loss to me
Well it’s with a heavy heart I have to report that the man that gave me the inspiration. Work ethic. Knowledge of how to fix anything. Basic mechanical fundamentals. And more than I can say that has rewarded me with the amazing journey through life I have had. Also the success i have had at the highest level of racing including every type of racing leading up to this. He served his apprenticeship at Bert Holmes Ford dealership Ashburton Motors. He worked on my car in my avatar that has the Ashburton Motors badge on my dash.
Thanks Dad. I will remember 11/22/2020 for the rest of my days. Your the best mate. |

Re: Another Huge Loss to me
My condolences on the loss of your best friend; I lost my dad last year around this time and I can't say a day goes by that I don't miss him.

Re: Another Huge Loss to me
Tony, my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dad.
I lost my dad December 2, 1977. I still miss him. Your dads memory will never fade. One way of honoring him and keeping him with me, I hung his WW11 dog tags on the rear view mirror of my 39 coupe. He’s with me on every ride.

Re: Another Huge Loss to me
My dad was without a doubt my best friend, I lost him in '79 when I was 26 and he was 52. I still miss him very much. I know what you are going through. He sounds like a great dad to teach you so much about cars and racing and life.

Re: Another Huge Loss to me
My sincere condolences extended to you. I have knowledge of some of your feelings as my Momma and Daddy are both gone now. Many memories are all we have but they are wonderful.
