Alert, Alert! Stolen vintage sirens and steam whistles.

Loss of a real friend

:( Sorry for your loss,I have been lucky to have a couple of very good friends whom i considered my "adopted fathers",so i know how difficult this is.hope all of his assets are recovered
 
Thanks to all of you for the expressions of sympathy. This is truly a tragic loss, since I feel that the thefts were as much responsible for his death as was the coronary that got him.

Mike....I agree, what goes around comes around, so it's not over for the daughters and their husbands. While some of the sirens and steam whistles may well be recovered, some may never be seen again. It's my understanding from what Harold's friend Louise (who, by the way, inherits his entire estate) told me yesterday, the Eastland Co. Sheriff's Office has a good idea where some of them may have gone.

Harold had removed the daughters from his will once before because they had treated him badly when he was seriously ill. But they were his kids, so he relented and put them back in. So I think it was a matter that they felt threatened and were taking no chances when they grabbed the "loot" and ran. At least he was able to redo the will a couple of weeks ago, taking them out permanently this time.

Thanks again, guys!
 
Skip, my condolences on the loss of your friend. The way his daughters are behaving is an excellent example of why you DONT tell the kids what they are or are not getting in your will. I presume MY parents have a will since my older brother has said hes the executor, but i dont know whats in it nor do i want to know. My step mom went thru the family feud when her folks died & i know she doesnt want that to happen with us. I assume that my folks will be fair with us 5 kids but I dont want to know anything until the day comes. That way, im not counting the chickens before the eggs hatch. Besides, i already have the ONE item of my dads that i ever wanted...his 65 Cadillac. Nothing else matters.

Thanks, Rick. This was a matter of the daughters thinking everything was theirs....regardless....and made sure they got it. If I didn't mention it above already, he was in the hospital when they hit the place. It was their intention of his never seeing home again. If he was to leave the hospital, they were going to put him in a nursing home a leave him....where he'd never-ever know the difference. Eventually it will catch up to them.
