Hello Bob,

Its nice you're back on the forum. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's always difficult when losing a family member, even when it is expected. From experience, let me suggest you keep a close eye on your mother to make sure she gets through the grieving period without getting too depressed.

Bob, Sounds like your a man with a good set of priorities. Sorry for your loss.

Hi Bob....don't know you but feel your pain. So sorry for the loss of your Dad. I lost my best friend Ray to ALS in 2010 and I think of him often. It's a terrible disease. The form Ray had was called Bulbar and is the most aggressive...he died within a month of being diagnosed which was actually a blessing. No cure...maybe some day.

Bob, sorry to hear about your loss. I really do hope you are able to dedicate some time in the future to the Zenith community-- you've been a tremendous resource for many people.

HI Bob, glad to hear from you. Sorry about your Father, no mater how we prepare, it is difficult, when we lose someone. Hope to hear more about your next projects.

Your "right on the money" about the attention my mother requires as she transitions to single matriarch. The paper / legal work has really confirmed the old saying about "Death & Taxes".

Stinson's main rebuild issue is always the rare and hard to get parts Franklin engines. I have a friend who went through a rebuild process lasting 2 yrs only to have the engine rebuilder die before its completion. Stinson's are wonderful aircraft.

Hey, Bob, Good to hear from you. Sorry about your loss. I can identify, having lost both my parents in the last few years. Of my parent's five kids, four of us live within two hours of each other and the folks, so we could share the burden of care around some but it is still a huge undertaking. Like your Dad, my folks wanted to stay home and we managed to make it work for them both. They both made it into their 90's. You did well, by the sound of things.

Enjoy having time with your Mom. When my Dad died she needed us even more until she stabilized in her new role as single matriarch. You sound like a great son and I am sure you will do right by her, for her and with her.

Enjoy retirement! I made that step six years ago and it has been wonderful. I recommend retirement highly. I have never been so busy in my life as I am now. Right now my business is getting my Stinson's fresh engine installed and getting the plane back in legal flying condition (the annual expired waiting for the engine). If the stars all line up I will see you at OSH after flying the Stinson there.
