    passed away peacefully on 14th july which is yesterday where i live, he is 71

    spend 18 days in ICU try to fight it thru but he lost the war

    sad for me he will not here to watch F1 with me, where he always say "vettel pole again? oh no" if vettel wins he will say "not again"

    his favourite is schumi, he says schumi is old man like him but still got the kick

    always crack a joke out of no where even he is silent person, a guy who loves his family and everyone..will always miss him

    a hero to me and always will be

    it's hard the moment doctor tell us his condition is worsening because of pneumonia

    but it's better he don't suffer anymore, the 18 days in ICU from my eyes nothing but suffering for him

    will take care of my mom and everyone and remember him in our heart

    I feel your pain, having lost my dad last October. It might help emotionally, to continue to talk to him, just knowing the conversations are going to become a little more one-sided.

    My condolences to you and your family.

    Sounds like your dad and I would have been kindred spirits concerning F1 ;), I wish my father liked F1 racing. When a person (especially senior citizens) gets pneumonia it is never a good thing, I had pneumonia when I was 2yrs old and almost died. Keep talking to him and singing his praise (no P&R intended) everyday and hug your family a little tighter each day.

    All the best,
    Gregg :)

    Condolences, sounds like your Dad was a great guy and friend. I admire your attitude that it was better for him to pass peacefully rather than prolong any agony. It's clear you cared more about him than yourself. May peace be with you.

    Sorry to hear of your loss - Lost my dad Father's day weekend in 1995 - still go to him in spirit for guidance and "talk" to him regularly. Once the feelings of loss wane you will have the good times and (obviously) great relationship to call on when times get hard or something reminds you of him - that will keep you strong. It sounds trite and cliche but try to celebrate his life more than grieving of his death.

    Thoughts with you...

    My condolences. I lost my father last Oct. at the age of 74. over the past couple of years, he would tell me that he was proud of me for actually achieving my dream (owning a Ferrari). The Last year of taking him to the hospital ICU's was taxing and hard for everyone. i can still remember these experiences like it happened yesterday. My mother now lives with me, my wife and 2 kids. She seems to be getting along well. Things will get better as time goes on. I promise you that. I miss him a lot when I see things and places that remind me of him.

    In our chinese custom me as son must send him off from home to cremation, the journey is so hard for me as the last time i will ever see him again. We both share alot of good moment when i drive him around everywhere, the memory will be with me forever.

    Done what i must as son for him, a proper journey to the end. There is some regret but when he's still here we loved him all we can and he knows that. He didn't care if we make a million dollars everyday but what most important to him is everyone is together as a family. Life must go on for him and will always be remembered.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I lost my dad 3 years ago to a devastating heart attack and I lost my 51 year old brother last Thursday to a massive stroke. I does get better each day. Now is the time to surround yourself with loved ones and talk about all of the stories involving your dad. I'm sure there are plenty you have not heard, but will love. It's in those stories that your dad will always be with you. My personal prayer is that your dad is somewhere watching Fangio, Senna, Hill and the rest of heroes continue to race on the perfect track with your dad cheering from the best seat in the house! God bless.
