: Father doing bad Tom@MHP off for a while.
Toml08 10-23-2009, 08:25 AM I knew the time would come but you're still never ready for it. My Dad has been fighting cancer the past 6 months and the last month has been hard on him. Well a few days ago they said there's not anything more that can me done, that it's now just a matter of time and to keep him comfortable. It's amazing what cancer can do to 68 year old man who most people thought was fifty and was in better shape that most 25 year olds. What's also amazing is that he's ok with everything never complains and is still the happy go lucky guy that's he has always been. Just hope I can be the same way some day. Anyway I'll be traveling today and in Michigan for the next few weeks. If you need something leave a voice mail,email or pm and I'm going to try and check them now and then. If you need something right away call the main number or email Andy at sales@modernhorsepower.com.
Thanks,
Tom.

GC GEEZER 10-24-2009, 08:16 AM Wow, sorry to hear this Tom. From our conversations I know your dad had a fantastic career with GM, loves cars and accomplished much to be proud of. I hope you can help bring him and your family all the comfort and peace that that you deserve at this difficult time.
Kind of reminds me of one topic of our discussion when we first met... "life is short... eat dessert first."
Take care buddy,

flats3 10-25-2009, 04:46 PM So sorry to hear about your Dad. I went through this with my Mom a few years ago and we just went through this with my wifes Dad. In both cases the local hospice organizations were of great help. It's amazing the resources they have available to them that you never think about. Our thoughts are prayers are with you.

LAFNGAS 10-27-2009, 05:11 PM deepest condolences to you and your family tom
Im really sorry to hear this. I just had a scare with my mom so I know how you must feel. Your in my thoughts.
af_maineiac 10-27-2009, 07:47 PM Tom - just now reading this since I haven't been on the forums a whole lot lately, and I'm terribly sorry to hear about your dad. A lot of us can make the argument that we each have the best dad in the world - to this day, my father is still the best friend I've ever had. I only hope I can be half the role model to my children that he was while we were growing up. I know it's inevitable, but I dread the day that he finally has to go. I can only imagine what you're going through; make the most of the time you have left with him. You and your family are in our prayers. Hate to see this happen to a class act like yourself. :(
Hang in there....

speedking1121 10-28-2009, 01:49 AM Tom, i'm truly sorry to hear of this. just like Oakley, from our conversations, it seems that your father has lead a full and rewarding life and passed, not only his passion of cars, but strong work ethic, on to you.
Cherish the time you have left, everything here in CO will be waiting for you to come back, when the time is right. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. know that you have many brothers and sisters on this board, as well as many others, who are here for you in your difficult times. i'll be sure to toast the life of Mr. Leet with my next pint.
let me know if there is anything i can do for you to help out, anything at all.
m4xm1l10n 10-28-2009, 07:45 PM WOW!!! Tom Sorry to hear that , Keep it Positive man !!!!!
Fastest H-Town Realtor 11-01-2009, 04:20 PM Tom-
I do not know your father, but, he is obviously a good man, judging by the son he raised. Your family is in our prayers, and, whatever is to be, may be done without sufferance.
