I had the honor of getting to know Elmer [Freds dad] Uncle Bill and Roman. These three brothers had a passion for keeping these old tractors alive and they passed it down to their sons and daughters. Elmer and Roman liked their red tractors and Bill liked Allis and Fordsons. The other legacy that they left was a Passion for Steam. I don't recall if Elmer was ever into steam but Bill helped many young men get started with steam engines. We will miss them but what they stand for is going strong. I will keep your family in my prayers.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

Our thoughts are with you, and your family. He was a "special" person for sure! I never go a day, with-out thinking/talking to my father that passed approx. 10 years ago. Be STRONG, he will be there!!

I am new here but I am sorry for your loss. My dad passed in 98, was an AC man with his favorite being his beloved 180D. I grew up on a WD and WC. Words are not enough at these times, we're never quite ready. My condolences to you and your family.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Sorry to hear that Fred. Not many people these days are born and die on the same farm. That in my eyes is a great accomplishment . Prayers from Illinois from my family.

It's a experience each of us will face at sometime , yet no one is ready for it . Know some of what you must feel as with Roxann passing on August 18 . Good memories will sush aside the loss but they still come to you and at times you least expect it and in ways you never imagine . Just a word or when talking to someone and something triggers the loss feelings. It is natural but doesn't seem right, yet grief plays with us both in memories and reality of the loss . Trust in GOD and ask him for the strength to make it through this moment and those to come, both for yourself and for your family . Sharing here with friends has helped me face the reality and many here have helped me each day to get to tomorrow , for it is a journey that can be hard and also lonely, but that is when we forget or put off the idea to call on friends and God to fill those times .

Sorry to hear of your loss Fred. My dad is 89 and still on the farm, but had a stroke 2 weeks ago and is struggling to stay there. 2014 is turning into a tough year around here too. Take care.

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure even if he said you were a turn coat, it was said with a smile and he probably was quite proud of what you have accomplished. Time helps heal, I lost my mom 22 years ago yesterday (the 15th) sure doesn't seem that long ago.
