I had only met Mr. Powell once. I remember him being excited to see his boys excited about being at an MTI dyno day. He really seemed like a good guy. I hope and pray Chris and Matt can get trough this.

Sorry to hear...

I lost my Dad when I was 16, the only thing you can do it keep his memory alive with all the good times you had together. Seems like he was a good man... If you need anything let us know.

Ross and everyone... I cannot thank you all enough for the support and well wishing for everything. It hasn't fully hit yet and I am not looking for forward till it does... Right now we are all still just in disbelief. He was fine when my mom and him woke up, but when she got out of the shower he was already gone... The hardest thing forth family was not being all to be together until late last night though really sucked. My parents were in the Cape Cod area on vacation so we had to get my mom back last night. It just sucks because if nothing happened they would both be getting home in a few hours. I know he will always be there watching over and pissed cause he cant tell us we are doing something stupid (LOL!), but he will never be forgotten by anyone that has met him.

Again thank you everyone... We really do appreciate the support!

Time will heal your wounds. Lean on all of us until that happens. Your dad was my dad's age. I know you will all miss him.

Rest in peace, Sir.

I'm so sorry to hear your loss. The way you refer to your dad it's obvious you two were close like I am with my dad. I wouldn't know what to do if something like this came out of no where. I hope the best for you and your family in this sad time. Just remember how he taught you to be a son he is proud of and he will never be gone.
