Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Guys, sorry Ive been a little out of the loop for the last week or so..
On December 30, 2021, my Dad made his trip to Heaven..
Many thanks for the support yall have shown over the yrs of this build
His medical issues just kept piling up til his body could no longer take it
He was very alert to the end...but he was ready to come home so he could go home..even though we all knew the outcome of him being unplugged and leaving the ICU, we made sure his wishes were fulfilled..

I've been blessed to have him as a part of my life..

I was also very fortunate to have a chance to tell him what happened to his truck...that alone lifted his spirits to a unbelievable high..even not being able to walk, he wanted to go work on it with me..we set the tailgate and tag on the desk at the foot of the hospice bed,so he could see it as I showed him picture after picture of all I had done..he just kept pointing at it and saying "that made it worth coming home for!!!!"
He left this old world in the way that he wanted..
At home ,surrounded by family,
and is in a much better place now..
Rest in peace Dad..
