- Dad loved telling his stories on our channel, and he loved hearing the comments so many had left. As in all stories, there needs to be a ending and in this video I wanted to give closure to so many of you who watched, liked, commented to dad......he loved it! We will miss him.
The family of Clare A. Ash Jr.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed watching every video of your conversations with your Dad.
Thank You very much.
MY Sincere condolences Steve, your Dad was so part of your channel, what a remarkable person, God bless you all in this difficult time
Thank you Jan, I appreciate your kind words sir
He definitely got his money’s worth almost getting to 100 👍🏻 there’s a reason they were called the greatest generation
Boy that’s the truth Andy, there will never be another generation like them!
Well my Grammer is already awful in comments, but even worse fighting away the tears today....
First and foremost lots of respect and honor in this video, and thank you for that Mr Steve. I can't imagine, but I remember something you said....get those videos while you can!! I have so enjoyed listening to his stories and laughs over the last few years!! Watching your boys get the tractors running after all these years...dad's way of making us all still smile!! Thank you Mr Steve, for bringing all of the memories to us, bless you and the family always!! 🙏🙏😁😁😁
Nelson thank you for the kind words, I appreciate your support especially in these dad videos. Getting those tractors running meant a lot to us. Tell your parents you love them today and every day you can.
@@AnglesideFarm 🙏😁
I've been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to come up with something to say......all I can come up with is, Thank You Steve for sharing your Dad with all of us.....one great man from the greatest generation. I miss his stories....Thanks Steve.
Thank you Brent, I’m glad you enjoyed them and I was proud to share him with you all.
Sorry for your loss, Steve. Thank you for doing a closing chapter. I will miss his stories.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed his videos
Sorry for such a great loss and our deepest condolences to you and your family. My mom is 93 and we are fortunate that we have a two lady that take turns and stays with her. When I had seen your dad in your videos it would bring back memories of my dad before he passed. Again Sorry for your loss.
Thank you, give your mom an extra hug next time you see her......there is never enough hugs.
Good job Steve. We all share your loss with you.
Thank you Gary
Thanks for this closing chapter Steve. It is a hard one to share, I know.
So many times seniors rally for a while after an acute illness.
That last video of your dad on the tractor is one I will never forget.
Please keep sharing your farming story when you can. we really like to follow what’s happening.
Take care,
Annette 🌺
Thank you so much Annette for your very kind words, they mean a lot. Take care
I'm struggling with words, but i believe your Dad went home. Thank you Steve.
Thanks Bryce, I hope he is sir.
Very nice video, I think you did a great job with a very emotional subject. Sorry for your Loss.
Thanks, it took a while for me to emotionally do this video.
Hey Steve, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. He reminded me of my grandpa. I miss him every day. I actually still have the first adjustable wrench that Grandpa gave me when I was a kid, it lives in the tool box on my Allis. Sort of feels like he's riding with me when I'm running it. Thank you for making the videos with him and for sharing them with us. Hope you have a good one, Steve, thank you again
Thank you Evan, the simple thing such as that wrench is extra special.....and the memories with it!
Thanks Steve, myself and others needed this video. I know he will rest in peace, because he was at peace with how he had lived his life.
Very well said, thank you!
You have my sympathy. Your dad was an amazing man, you were so fortunate to have him as long as you did. The videos you have will always be a great remembrance. Take care Steve
Thanks Tim. Yes having him so long and in such good health was a special blessing
So sorry for the loss to you and your family. You’re 100% correct about the people from hospice, they were a tremendous help with my grandfather. Coincidentally his funeral was the same day as your Dads, he would’ve been 99 last week. Hang in there and all the best from the east side of the state, Mike
Wow the similarities between them two are incredible. Where on the east side of the state are you from?
@@AnglesideFarm St Clair, about 15-20 minutes south of Port Huron
We go over that way walleye fishing. Nice country.@@brokentractorbarnandgrill6598
Great video Steve! Been a long time since I’ve seen Mich certified sign
Thank you, that sign was up in the gable of our bean and barley seed processing building. Dads is in perfect shape, mine was left out in the weather for years.
My gosh Steve that was a wonderful video. I'm so sorry you lost your dad last year but I know, through your videos, that you had a wonderful relationship and you enjoyed each other. Producing videos like you do takes a lot of time and effort but you now have a video history of your dad that will far outlast all of us.
Thank you for posting this and I hope you enjoy your memories! TJ
Thank you TJ, I appreciate your comments sir!
He was obviously a great guy. The love and dedication you and your family showed him is proof of that. Thank you for sharing what I know had to be a very tough video to make.
Thanks Chris, yes it was a bit of a challenge to get through this video without cracking or tearing up
Thanks for taking the time to share the memories & stories of your Dad with us Steve. Take care.
Thank you Ron.
Thanks for sharing Steve
I hope I have 1/2 the sense of humor when I go as it sounds like your dad had and it was a pleasure to get to know him in the few videos he shared
Thanks for sharing him with us !
God Bless you and your family
His memory is forever locked in TH-cam for other to enjoy 👍
Thank you for watching and your kind words, yes he kept the humor to close to the end.
Thank you for sharing you Dad's videos with us, Steve. I think l'll go over and visit mine right now.
Tell them hi for me Fred and thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing the videos of your Dad. Precious memories. Farmers are special people. They are cut from a different cloth.
We all enjoyed the videos of your Dad so much!!! ❤
He had a great sense of humor.
Thank you Jennifer, I appreciate that.
Oh Steve. My sincerest condolences on your dad’s passing. The end of a blessed life for sure. God bless. We feel honored to have been able to meet him and hear his stories here
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words.
I know it was hard but I’m glad you were able to pass along your final story! I know his stories meant a lot to me as he had that determination that my own Dad had. You’re fortunate to have these special videos of him. Prayers for you and the family and thank you🙏❤️
Thank you Mark, I’ve been blessed to had him so close and for so long. Best regards to you sir!
Told you I'd be back. Very well done Steve!! Soon as you teared up about 3/4 of the way through... You got the 3 of us here going too (me, Becky and Ty)
Still damp eyes as I'm typing.
Thank you very much for getting your first dad in the videos. Perhaps had I started doing videos a few years earlier, I could have done the same.
The end... Sounds like some very good advice!! Take the time to check in and visit, cherish the memories.
Thank you Steve!!
I know I said it before, but it's still appropriate.. as our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family for a few months.
😥❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Ed, Becky and Ty for watching. Ed I thought about you and your loss, I would have loved seeing videos of your dad, I’m sure he was a wealth of knowledge.
Take care and Thank You for your kind words and support.
@@AnglesideFarm Steve, you are welcome, that's what friends are for.
Thank you!! Yes, would have loved to have gotten some videos of dad, but..
So sorry for your loss! For some time now I've suspected that he may have passed because you hadn't posted anything for quite awhile. Thanks for the update, I know how hard it must have been to do!
Thank you, yes it was a hard thing to get through, that’s why it took me this long to make it.
I am so sorry to hear about your father. He was a great man. It is obvious he was a great farmer. Starting with little he went on thru a long carrier to farm successfully in three totally different area ch of Michigan. I have totally enjoyed his videos and have watched them more than once. You should be proud.
I appreciate your kind words and yes he made us all proud.
So sorry for the loss of your daddy. I'm sure if you guys have ever been to Kinzers, Pa, for the Thresherman's reunion, then, I am sure My husband will know your daddy. I lost my Daddy in 1985. There was a hole in the family that was never right again. Will keep you all in our prayers. ❤️
Thank you, and I’m sorry for your loss as well.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
Thank you sir
Good to see you Steve.
Been hoping you would do the video.
I'll have to come back to watch it later. Not going to miss this one.
Thank you Ed, I know you can relate to the loss
@@AnglesideFarm yes sir.. got to watch at lunch.. left a better comment.
Thanks so much, Steve, for making this video for us. It gives us closure. I'm sure it was challenging holding it together as you related the events regarding your Dad. I always enjoyed seeing him in a video and listening to his recollections and stories and I will miss him. I think you can count yourself as fortunate to have had him as long as you did - I lost my dad 34 years ago, when he was only 60 years old and have always wondered what it would have been like to have had him all this time. He would have been in his mid 90's now. It's so nice that you captured the video of him that you will always have and be able to treasure. Be sure to document all the stories he told you, videoed or not, for the future members of your family. You have my deepest sympathy at this time of your loss, but I know you will do what he would have wanted, and that is to carry on. I'll quote Dr Suess (not a verbatum quote, but it gets the idea across) - Don't be sad that it's over, but be happy that it (him being in your life) happened.
Thanks Charlie
Yes we have been so blessed to have him in our lives. It’s been a very lonely world for me with him gone, we have gotten 3 of his old tractors up and running again and that makes me feel closer and I’m sure he would be proud. I’m so sorry you lost your dad at a young age, it looks like you have made him proud too. Thanks for the kind words and thought.
@@AnglesideFarm If there are farms in Heaven, I know both our dads are there. (Mine is probably telling God how to get things done! 🤣🤣🤣🤣) But I'm sure they're both smiling down on us. Glad you got some of your Dad's tractors going. He would certainly have approved of that! A tribute to a life well-lived.
Sorry to hear. He was a great resource and an inspiration for all of us.
Thank you sir.
Good afternoon Steve.
This has to be really hard for you to do
Very hard......
I just did a video on the 100 year history of our farm.
It is a video made up entirely of still pictures.
I’ll have to give it a watch
