In Memory of Brad Ferguson

Danny Ferguson · #1 September 30, 2006, 09:16 PM

My dad passed away Thursday morning. He had been fighting cancer for over two years. He died in the comfort of his own home, and was in no pain. He has been in the floor covering industry for over thirty years. He was a straight up guy, who was true to his word. He taught me alot about the retail side of the buisness, but measuring was never one of his strong points. I used to get so dam mad at him for making me pcs in closets. I'll miss him. The family seems to be doing well. We have alot of work in front of us. Keep us in your prayers.

Hey Danny, I am so very sorry to learn of yours and your families loss. Death always comes too soon and leaves such a terribly large void in the lives of those it touches. We will keep you and your family in our prayers as you discover the man your father always knew you to be. Lead on Mr. Ferguson, lead on...

With sincere sympathies,

David & Charlene Hunt

Mine has been gone for a long time Danny. He was 49.... as I will be in a few days. I think about him a lot because of the things he taught me, automotive, electrical, plumbing, carpentry.........and lawn mowing to name a few.
So sorry to hear of your loss Danny. It's good that your memories will be good ones like mine.

I'm very sorry for your families loss...It's comforting to know, that he was surrounded by those he loved, and who loved him, as well. Peace be with you and your family.

Danny I am very sorry for your loss and will remember you and your family in my prayers. My 78 year old Dad still works with me some on tearouts and moving furniture and I worry about him.

My only brother is near death from this terrible disease. He's at home too ..... just a matter of time.

You are in our prayers Danny.

This is sad news, Danny, and I am very sorry for your loss. If you feel up to it, I would like to post his obituary and this thread in the news forum so that it will show up on the home page as a memorial to your father. If you could email or PM me, I promise to make it a nice tribute. If you have a picture of him too...

In any case, my deepest condolences.

Danny, may God bless you and your family at this time. I know your sorrow is deep, and the pain is great. Hold on tight to the good memories you have and know that your friends are here for you. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your brother.

Danny So sorry for your loss. I'm sure he'll be greatly missed. Especially since he was in the business. Those little tidbits of advise will surely be missed.

I'm sorry to hear that Danny. From what I've heard, your Dad was a good man. It also appears that he left things in good hands with you. It's your turn now. Make the best of it as I'm sure you will. My thoughts are with you and your family.
