My condolences brother. It sounds like your dad was a fine American. I’m sorry for you and your family’s loss.
 
I'm sorry for your loss bigwaverider. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Your shoops always cheer me up.

My deepest condolences to @bigwaverider . Truly one of the best guys on Sherdog and a real class act. Your father did a great job raising you and I am very sorry for your loss.
 
Not a shoop guy, but I can relate to losing your pops. I miss mine everyday and sometimes I can't believe it's been almost 3 years

Condolences Sherbro

I'll rock that AV for ya @bigwaverider and hold up a toast to Sr. tonight
 
Damn, @bigwaverider I'm so sorry for you loss man. I know words don't mean much and nothing will fill that void - I lost my father when I was in my early twenties - but if you need to talk, just send a message to vent or anything that I can help with, let me know. Positive thoughts are with you. Just try to stay strong. If you can't, there's nothing wrong with that either.
 
@bigwaverider

My condolences to you and your family...it is never an easy time. I lost my dad too this past summer, so I can imagine how you must be feeling.

Thank you for your massive contributions over the years, which no doubt have made Sherdog a better and more fun place to be!
 
I really did want to thank everyone individually but as of right now there are 115 unique posters. Of course I have a lot going on, my mind is jumbled, and that would be a daunting task for me to do right now. I'm trying my best to show my appreciation to each and ever one of you, so I am @ tagging everyone that posted in this thread in the spoiler.

As some/most of you know, my dad has been ill for some time. He had been unable to go out of the house since March of last year due to Covid lockdown. That was when things got bad. He was no longer going out which he had done 4 times a week. He went to church on Sunday, Bible study, went to lunch with me every Wednesday, and lunch one day with my sister. He got weaker and weaker as 2020 went along. Finally he was hospitalized mid December. He was released Xmas Eve and from my opinion things looked like there was a chance he could get better.

Then on the 27th or 28th he relapsed and was hospitalized again. They discovered he had Covid. He was ill for some time with it but miraculously he kicked Covid's ass! After Covid, he was sent to the hospital's rehab around the 14th of January. I had hopes at that time that they could build him back up again. However he deteriorated. In the last few weeks he couldn't walk and needed lifts to get him out of bed, into and out of the elevator. We were allowed to visit him by appointment, and only outside for 45 minutes.

Finally he got so bad that they said there was nothing that could do. They sent him home, with hospice nurses, a hospital bed, and within 36 hours he passed away with all of us around.

I so appreciate this thread, all of you, and the love you have given. You all are the best. Thank you.

edit: I forgot to say that he is having a Military Funeral in a Military Cemetery with full honors. He is having a gun salute, but IDK how many guns. I believe I have mentioned that he is a retired Full Bird Colonel.

Just the fact that you took the time right now to tag us all individually is incredible. I’m really sorry this happened, and I wish the best for you while you endure this. Thanks for the tag. :)
