    One last ride with my dad...

    The original post from this past Sunday is here: http://www.ffcars.com/forums/17-fact...-ride-dad.html

    Dad passed away this morning - peacefully. I'm thankful for God's gift of one last ride with him.

    Godspeed to the man who taught me that all things are possible.
    Later,
    Chris

    Oh, that is heartbreaking! But what a fantastic opportunity God gave you last weekend! It sounds like you had a great Dad, and that you are blessed to have had this one last adventure together.

    Chris, my sincere condolences.
