Posts: 532 02/10/09 06:14:12	Lloyd G. Collyer The Greatest Salesman in the World July 3, 1933 - January 22, 2009 This is the hardest post I have ever wrote as tears fall into my morning coffee but it's something I must do... This is not a post morning my dad's passing but a post celebrating his Rich and Full Life... My Father always played a peek a boo game with the Grandkids, called Guess What, I Love You... Guess What, I love You... We've been through the good times and the bad... Sometimes Happy, Sometimes Sad... I guess you could say we've been through it All... You always Taught us to Stand Tall and Never Take the Fall... You Taught us to chase that all Mighty Buck and always believe in that thing called Luck... You always told us that God won't Help You unless You Help Yourself... And how to sell products right off the shelf... You'll never get anything if you don't Open your Mouth... Always be the Lion and never the Mouse... You Taught us to Hunt and Fish and when we do we think of You... Thank You for the Gravel in our Guts and the Spit in our eyes... It makes us Cry that we must say Good Bye but that's for Now... So Dad put on your Wings and Lord bring in the Clowns... Guess What, I Love You... By: Doug & David Collyer...

We can consider ourselves lucky when we have someone like your dad that influences your life the way your father obviously influenced yours. This is a tough time and I am sorry for your loss. Tim

I lost my father a couple of years ago and every time I step into a stream or work on a rod, he's in my thoughts. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Posts: 56 02/10/09 18:08:29	Dave, Thank you for sharing your feelings with all of us. I lost my Dad 26 years ago, my Mom 6 months ago. My Dad taught me to love the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and bought me my first bamboo fly rod. From what you have written you already understand the importance of remembering the good things. I'm glad you had someone for a father who was such a positive influence in your life. You hang in there. Ray

I was surprised by how much he learned in those few short years..."-) Now that I have time and insight to reflect, I am my Father... As in Life, in Death he did it his way... I'm holding my Mother very close and Cherishing every Moment... Take Care, Dave Denver Dave's Vintage Bamboo Fly Rods

It is tough when you know that hand on your shoulder is not going to be there.May his spirit stay with you for a long,long time! Hang in there my friend and be well. Best,Paul

Three months ago, my best friend died suddenly of a heart attack. Five years ago this month, my mother died of lung cancer, three years after the diagnosis. Whether you see it coming or not, the death of a loved one is the hardest thing to bear. Your touching words about your father have resonated with many of us, I'm sure. God bless you and remember the good times. Lon
