David,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father, my friend. Losing a loved one is always heartbreaking, but to lose your father is a loss that is especially hard. I know that it doesn't make things any less painful, but from your very touching tribute, your father lived a full and wonderful life.

My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you and your family, David. Take care of yourself, and remember that we're all here if you need us, my friend.

My deepest condolences,

Dustin

My deepest condolences David, my thoughts are with you and your family.

It is always a hard time when somebody beloved is passing, I know it very good too. Maybe the best thing we can do is to keep our warmest memories alive, and don't worry, but enjoy and appreciate everything our closest persons gave us.

My mother died when I was 12 (because of a cancer) and I stayed with my father. We often disagreed when I was a teenager, I was always independent and he had different vision of my future than me, but when I become adult and started studying, our relations were better and better, we had long discussions about life, philosophy and other things. He passed in 1991 when he was 61 years old (he was born a half year later than your Dad) because of a serious arteriosclerosis. Me and my wife took care about him last few months and it was a really hard time for us. Our biggest worry at that time was that we weren't able to help him. He passed too early, our situation improved a few years later and when we travelled across Europe we often talked about my dad. Me and my wife knew he would love to travel with us, and we would love to make his life more pleasant and peaceful. But this is life, and now we know we should make everything best for our beloved persons now. We never know when any of them will go away, and we don't know when we will go away.

I share the same thoughts as those of others. Take care.

David,
you were fortunate of living most of your life with your father, and I envy you for that, looks like he was a very good man.
I lost mine while I was young and there is not a day that I wonder how my life would have turned out had he been there.
So, while I sympathize with you and family for your loss, I can't help but think how blessed you were to have him with you for all those years. and I'm sure you cherish all those great memories.
I agree with Matt and Joan, you're his living testament and by your actions in your community you're celebrating his spirit.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Warmest regards
John and Nancy

Haven't looked at 3RR for a few weeks and i did not expect to see such awful news.

Your father sounded like a great man and i am deeply sorry for your loss.

Good luck. Connor.

Albus of Garaway · October 25, 2009, 05:23:09 PM

I haven't been around in a while, but seeing this news has truly saddened me. My condolences go to you and your family.

BigSlark · November 01, 2009, 04:06:17 PM

3RR has been a very quiet place and I hope that the tasks involved with your father's passing are going as smoothly as possible, David.

Peace be with you,
Kevin

A little 3RR teaser...

There's been a lot of talk about fords lately. I thought I'd try my hand at one.

* * *

Thank you to all of you for the kind words and thoughts about my dad. This is a special place. And all of you are very, very special friends.

Onward! It's going to be a busy month.

Later.

David

AMAZING! That is top notch stuff!

I cannot wait to get that in my rural areas...

Also, welcome back!

Havva good one

Also, I got an excellent model for that boat you wanted... are you still interested in it?

EDIT: Absolutely, my friend. I'd love to see it, and what could be done with it. Matt (threestooges) looked like he was making great progress, too. -DE

metarvo · November 02, 2009, 05:34:51 AM

It's good to see you getting back to 3RR, David. It looks like 3RR will have some fords, which make a good bridge alternative for dirt roads IMHO.

Gaston · November 02, 2009, 06:19:46 AM

Glad to see you back again my friend.

David,

I saw this over SimPeg but I thought I'd post my question here instead. Is there a way to make the road ploppable with the water running over, and make the road look muddy coming out of the ford and still be transit enabled?

This is beautiful by the way, keep up the great work!!

Matt

Ryan B. · November 02, 2009, 09:47:15 AM

Fords . . . . . . . . or fjords?

I'm not gonna lie, I thought of my Contour before I thought about a road / water crossing.

EDIT: I have an idea!
