Volnation loses a faithful fan and beloved father

[andymuffins]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Last night around 10:30pm my father passed away from a massive heart attack.

He was a lifelong Vol fan and read nearly every thread posted here daily. We would often read every article in the morning, and Tony Basilio's blog and then discuss the upcoming season together. He loved the Vols and we watched many games together over the years. I will cherish these moments and memories for the rest of my life.

He was looking forward to this football season and believed that Butch Jones was the best coach that we could have gotten. He was truly excited to watch the games with his boys in the fall.

He was 62 years old when he passed. He was married to my mother for 40 years and was the only woman he ever knew. He leaves Momma, his 5 boys and 6 grandchildren behind who all loved him dearly.

I'm grateful for all the joy that you all have brought him over the years and he will be sorely missed.

Here is a few photos from last fall at the Missouri game with him and all of his sons together. It almost seems like a great farewell, that the only time all of the boys could watch a football game together in one place would be the last.

I miss you Daddy.

So sorry to hear man. Prayers to you and your family. Lost my dad 12 years ago at 54. I know what you are going through. It'll make you grow up very quickly. Be there for your mom whenever she needs you. Keep him alive in your memories.
