please pray for our family my fil passed away suddenly at 60 yrs old. it happened about a month ago but i just couldnt bring myself to post it until now. we have spent at least 15 of the last 20 yrs working together almost everyday. he worked all day the day he died came home just like normal nap on the couch and about midnight had a massive heart attack they think. i guess thats the best way to go but it was a terrible shock. he is the man in my avatar. wish i had got a better pic.

Prayers for you and family in this time of sorrow. Bet he left you with good memories and knowledge for you to go forward.

Sorry to hear about him. And at such a young age too. Never know when things like that will happen. Work hard your whole life and plan for the future and it can be gone like that. How sad. Do things that you enjoy now and have fun doing it.

Sorry to hear this. Prays for you and your family. Before my FIL passed, we were good friends. It was a big lost to our family.

I've got a Great relationship with my FIL, far better than I had with my Dad.
He's 75 and we're working on stacking up the good times while we can.
Very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.

cutterboy · August 21, 2015, 03:39:19 PM

I liked my FIL but we were not close. You were fortunate that you and he were close friends, but that makes his death all the harder for you. I'm so sorry.

sandsawmill14 · August 21, 2015, 04:21:27 PM

yep we were close. he had never been around a sawmill before i bought the bandmill but he was hooked from the beginning. i was going to try to teach him to saw but he was happy just stacking lumber. that pic of him driving the wedges in that gum thats my avatar is the one he would show to his buddys at the coffee shop to prove he was working :D :D :D the pic doesnt show it good but that log was over 48"

thanks for all the kind words.
