Cancer hits the Colbys again
 

Less than two years after my brother passed from colon cancer, my father lost his battle with cancer and rheumatoid arthritis this morning. He was 80 years old and without him I would have never learned how to drive a boat or have the career I now enjoy. So to anyone on these forums, spend time enjoying your boat with your family because time goes by way too fast.

Eric, condolences to you and your family, Godspeed to your Dad.

Eric, My sincerest sorrow at the news of your Dad passing. I lost my Dad to cancer nine years ago last month and I certainly feel your pain and sadness. Please know we are thinking about you and your family. Stan and Maria Lane

I'm very sorry for you're loss, my condolences go out to you're entire family.

I did exactly the same thing, As soon as I took delivery, I got my dad on our Nor-Tech right before he got extremely ill. It was something he always wanted to do, sit behind a helm of a perf. boat with a du-rag on. That made his day and I miss those moments..took alot of pics and with the help of Marc Blondin and Jay I was able to get them framed. Take Care. Jeff

Sorry to hear about your Fathers passing Eric. I called my dad right after we talked.
