What a wonderful and happy video. Your dad looked like a happy family man and everyone seemed to love him and share their play times with him. You should have many happy memories of your dad.

Dave,

Thanks for sharing the video of your dad and family. I enjoyed it and can see
why he was a big hit with all the kids.

My heartfelt condolences.

So sorry for your loss, but truly enjoyed the great memories you shared. Having a video like that is priceless for the whole family.

It's become somewhat of a pattern with DH's family to put together something similar, but using a selection of photos. Everyone loves them, and they're something to relish for years on end.

Very sorry for your loss, Dave. I lost my Dad (who was my hero, beacon, mentor, teacher and best friend) almost exactly a year ago now and can appreciate your pain and sense of terrible loss.

Thank you for sharing the video. Wonderful stuff, great memories. John Lennon singing "In My Life" (one of my personal favorite Beatles compositions) is just absolutely perfect in that context. R.I.P., great Dads.

My father passed yesterday, my nephew put together this video from our old 8mm home movies from the sixties. My dad is the one at the end skipping off. Rest in peace Dad, you lived a full life xxx.

Condolences to you and yours--------------

The day of my Dad's funeral I cried all day. I always use a cap when I write Father or Dad. He certainly deserved a CAP. Miss him like crazy.... In the beginning I used to" talk" to him on things that were bugging me. Kinda like venting I guess. Made me feel better.

My sincere condolences to you. You had a great Dad as that shows in the movie.

Make a copy of the DVD and keep it safe. Even a DVD can go bad, I found out recently but I had it uploaded too so that saved my day as I would have been very upset.
