 Topic: An Allis Man is Gone
Posted: 19 Feb 2011 at 11:59pm |
|
My Dad passed away this morning at age 84. He was a life long Allis man, over the years owning a number of AC's and at his death still having nine of them. I will miss him a lot. Just had to share this with someone at this late hour. Thanks for your thoughts. Dave

Sorry to hear that. I bet he was one of those people who could sit and talk AC for hours.

Dave, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. At 84 I'm sure your dad had a good life and saw so many changes over the years. I hope his passing was peaceful and you can remember the good times with him.

Sympathies and condolences. I lost my Dad just over 5 years ago. Still think about him a lot. I still have his last B and a lot of the Allis books from when he worked for them. The pain gets better, just takes a while. Hang on to the memories and everything he taught you.

A middle of the night, can't sleep sorry for your lose from NC Iowa. Just a thought, would we love the orange even if our fathers didn't love them first? My dad and I are very close and farming together has and will always keep us that way. My daughter is very lucky in that she still has all of her grandparents still living. I am deeply sorry for your lose. I'll bet he was one of those that even though I never knew him, I would have liked him.

Our condolences Dave. I lost my Dad, an Allis man for 50 years, two years ago April. He is the reason for my Allis interest as I grew up on Allis tractors.

Dave,
Please accept my condolences. I lost my Dad nine years ago, and I still miss him. Over time, you will treasure the things he taught you and the time you spent with him. It is a tough time to weather, but I can assure you that part of him will be with you always.

Dave, I can feel you sorrow in your post. I am so sorry for your loss. Lost my grandpa eight years ago and still think of him almost every day. When he passed we went and got an AC sticker kit for a WC and put it on his coffin.

Sorry for your loss. We lost our Dad 10 years ago and I can't get on a tractor and not think of him. Spend a lot of hours in the fields thinking of days gone by. Sure would be nice to go back wouldn't it. Nick

Dave - you have my sincerest condolences. I lost my father and a life-long Allis man back in 1997 and I too miss him. My efforts since then to be active in farming again part-time and building my AC collection is my way of honoring him and passing that heritage along to my sons. Prayers are with you and your family. Mike
