Coming Home For Lambing.

sorry for your loss @gators girl , as you say at least your dad is at peace now. No more pain and suffering. But it’s still painful for those left behind. Keep your chin up, remember all the good times.

My dad passed away this morning at home with me and mum with him.

So sorry to hear this. Heartfelt condolences to you and your Mum.

I only had the pleasure of meeting him in person once and he was just as friendly and good fun as he'd been through the magic of TFF.

We've exchanged PM's a few times over the years and had endless fun exchanging banter on this thread.

The world has lost a really good bloke and this forum has lost one of the corner stones of the livestock and forage section.

It will be hard for you for a while but nobody can take away the good times.

Look after yourself and your Mum.

RIP @Gator .

Sorry to hear this news RIP Gator

My deepest sympathy. As an arable farmer, I have no great interest in livestock, but always had a look in here for this thread, as it usually brightened my day with humour, and showed the hard work and graft put in, so incredibly sad to hear this news.
I wish you all the best, and RIP Gator.

He always came across as one hell of a genuine and caring man who will be greatly missed by us all, this has been one of my favourite threads on here it showed his love of his family, his friends, his livestock and the beautiful part of the world where he farms
I will always remember a few years back when a forum member was struggling how Ian and the rest of the gator gang went and sheared his ewes for him I don't think he knew him outside of here it just showed what a kind and giving man he was

It’s with a very heavy heart that I writing this. My dad passed away this morning at home with me and mum with him. He’s no longer in pain or suffering.

sorry to hear this had a lovely time round the kitchen table he will be missed

It's strange how I have grown to feel I knew your Father and farm from following his annual antics on TFF. A courageous, tough guy with a huge heart. Society should take a leaf from his book hard working and determined. Life is fu##ing sh!t sometimes chin up lass he thought the world of ya!!

Sincere sympathy to you and your extended family on the death of your Dad. May He Rest in Peace. John Sheehy, Cork, Ireland.

Deepest condolences for your loss, I’ll miss his logic on here. He started this thread just two weeks before my own father passed away, reading his posts over the years undoubtedly helped along whilst dealing with our own grief. Take your time and if things ever get too much, just take a minute and think - what would dad do. All the best for the future, regards.

Well over 10000 posts on gators thread.

Well done to Gator! - , hope you're having a brew and a bun or 2.

(Apologies, I don't know if it's appropriate timing. What about a just giving page for a charity?)

 

[blackieman83]

RIP Gator.

 

[Happy at it]

I had never posted on this thread before, but always checked in. This might be silly from a complete stranger, but reading your father posts, seeing his photos of stock and farm, and how he shared his interest and love for it all with his family and friends on here was so infectious and uplifting.. He was a true stockman and his enthusiasm and approach to life always made me want to try harder with things. I am so genuinely sorry for your loss....
