Having lost my father in 2004, and just recently his only remaining sibling, that makes me and my cousins the "elders" of the Maynard clan. I hope to hold that title for a while.

 

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

Lost my Dad last year in May and yesterday we just laid the last of his closest friends (another father figure to me) to rest. Below is a picture of Dad and I with the Cockshutt 20 Deluxe at its first show shortly after we restored it. This was one of the 16 farm tractors in his collection plus he had four 82 series Cub Cadets. I thank him for getting me started with tractors and miss restoring them with him. Happy fathers day to all!

Here is a picture of my dad "Big Jim" with my son at the Kent show in 2010 or 2011. We lost him June 1st 2012. I miss him very much. Happy father's day "guy"..

Here are a couple pictures of my dad Richard "Dick" Dennis. As you can see from the images he liked the green machines back in the day.

I ended up with his 317 a few years after that picture was taken when his job sent him and Mom to Mechanicsburg PA

He has suffered with Alzheimer's for the past 4 years. What a cruel damn disease.  Mom has kept him home during it all and attended to his every

need as she has done for 68 years. The last couple years have been tough as the disease worsened and he could no longer remember who his kids were

and wondered why we kept calling him Dad. He and our Mother raised 5 of us kids and I cant remember a time growing up that he had less than 2 jobs and sometimes a

3rd to make sure we all had what we needed but very seldom what we wanted. If we wanted something we did not need we had to to earn it. Paper routes, Hay bailing

Lawn mowing etc. Taught us the value in hard work and self reliance. Thanks Dad, My wants were the greatest gift you never gave. 

 Yesterday I spent my last Fathers day with Dad and sat with him as he drew his last breath at 1:17 AM this Father's Day. Almost exactly 24 hours ago.

Love you Dad. No more pain and suffering now. Rest in peace. We will take care of Mom. 

 

In Memory of Dad

Wow. Sorry to hear this. I tear up reading all these stories. Thank God for loving parents. Mine also didn't give in to every want but my sister and I always had what we needed. 

[AMC RULES 37,196]

So sorry for your loss Terry...

[SylvanLakeWH 28,394]

My prayers are with you and your family...

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,532]

Terry-

Sounds like your father was a great man. I know he did good raising you. May he rest in peace.

[Racinbob 11,925]

I'm so sorry to hear that Terry. Our prayers are with you and your family.

[Achto 29,397]

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

[rmaynard 16,294]

Wow. So sorry for your loss Terry. My mother-in-law developed Alzheimers at age 57 and passed at age 63. What a cruel disease it is. Though my wife and I grieved at her passing, we rejoiced in the knowledge that the terrible torture was over for her and all her loved ones. Best wished to you and all of your family.

 

 

[Ed Kennell 41,957]

So sorry you and your family suffered with this terrible disease.

May your Dad rest in peace and your family enjoy memories of the good days.

[WHX?? 51,742]

Prayers Terry...

[953 nut 59,949]

Terry, Prayers for you and your family. You were blessed with a wonderful dad and the fond memories will linger.

[Vinylguy 4,691]

Thank you everyone for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. We should be on the road to the big show Wednesday morning early.

Hope to see many of you there. Looking forward to it. 

Terry
