this song always brings tears to my eyes, I lost my dad june 9th, 1986, and wasn,t even there when he died, and all I can say is I miss you dad, rest peacefully, I am sure you are happy with mom and your parents now, I will see you again someday
God bless you. So moving. I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to my papa. He showed me things, not known to kings... Hugs and love, dear stranger xxx
My dad passed away in 1986. And all these years later I still miss him. I was a real daddy's girl growing up. He was the best Dad us 4 kids could ever have had. ❤
This song has truly blessed me. I lost my wonderful father June 4th, 1990. It's hard to believe 32 years have so quickly slipped by. I have needed him in those years because of difficult trials. I sometimes go to his graveside and speak as if he can hear me. It's there I tell him my sorrows. However, I am thankful for Jesus Christ, my good Shepherd, who will lead me the rest of my journey. Until we meet again dad, on that glorious shore, I love you.
my dad has been gone now for over 42 years, i still miss him, i still cry for him, he gave me my morals, my religion, my whole way of life, he was some man, he gave me my Scottish pride, jim little
I created a video of my father's life with this song as background and showed it at his memorial. Not a dry eye in the room. This song is priceless. And I miss him... my old man.
I had the Irish Tenors recording of this played at my dad's Wake Service just before the Rosary. There wasn't a dry eye at the service. I later played it for my oldest Step-son on the 1st Father's Day after I married his mother and Toasted both of our Dads. What a gr8 bonding for us.
As someone whos never known or met my father, i dont feel i connect with the song the same way as everyone else, but i still find something so beautiful and profound in this that really makes me feel what john is feeling, i send my love and best wishes to everyone in these comments and feel grateful that i have the amazing family i do (it was actually my granda who showed me this song) Music is a powerful thing
For all here who didn't have their father present as they grew up. It is and was not easy. I share peace with you all. Have solace and thanks for precisely knowing why you came to this world. As this is clear. You are here to be pure love. You know the pain of absense and you are here to show everyone in your life what it means to love and be loved. The highest honour in this world. It is in your power to now chose if you will carry out this ask of you in this lifetime. Many who come to this realm find it hard to understand their purpose and feel lost. You all do not have this challenge. I send sincerest blessings to you all.
Such thoughtful kind words. I needed to hear something beautiful like that and it’s nice knowing there are kind people like you out in this world. God bless you.
My Da went into hospital for what i think is the end. I live 3000 miles away and can't get into the hospital anyway because of Covid. Him and I were always extremely close and I will cherish the memories and the kindness and support he showed me when he passes. I hope to get home before the end just to say goodbye one last time.
Life is so short, Not only should we reach out to our father's but to our mother's, As we live we take things for granted, we become blasé, but then we are jolted when our father or mother are gone. There is no second chances to say what we should, whilst we can. "Yes, I miss my old man and my dear mother.
Just lost my father. My dad was more than a father. He was my best friend. This song reaches my soul. As a fellow Scotsman, John McDermott sings this great song with true compassion. I miss my dad but am thankful for his love and giving spirit. Thanks for being a dad who "made me what I am".
To all "The Old Men" who were always there for us when we were growing up and needed the guidance of one who loved us enough to say "NO" when it was needed and to encourage us to strive further when our youth and inexperience made us want to give up. THANK YOU for being there for us, You are sadly missed and irreplaceable.
I listen to this song in memory of my beloved father,John Fitzsimmons, who entered into eternal rest four years ago. He never gave up on me, even in the years when I strayed from all he taught me. I miss our conversations, and his calming presence in these troubled days. I love you, Dad,and God willing I will see you again for all eternity one day.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Reminds me so much of my Dad. If you watch McDermott he must be thinking of his "old Man' too. As he says..."I never will forget him, for he made me what I am". He tears up in this one. He also carrys a cain which I bet is his Dad's. He kisses a ring which I bet is his Dad's too. You can see the emotion from him I feel when I watch him. I miss you Dad...& mother.
Thank you John McDermott for this awesome rendition, A beautiful ballad that puts me right back there with my father every time I hear. Every word speaks to me and brings back vivid memories of the time we did have together. He left us in1996 but he's somehow still here with us, I love you pop.
Oddly my father died suddenly two months before I was born yet I can be deeply moved by songs like this paying tribute to a loving father. Wonderful song and as ever with John McDermott beautifully sung.
This is such a tear jerker, and so graceful. SO Bitter Sweet. My heart goes out to all of you Chrissy, Johnny, Bree and Rob. In such times as these, I really miss living near you all. My heart is so heavy and my heart so full. I Love you all too too much from Infinity and Beyond oxox Love Sam and Aunt Sandy
I miss my Dad he died from stroke he was great Dad he pass away in January 1982 he got see his Granddaughter he was So happy but now he is in heaven. I miss him greatly he was always full knowledge when us girls got lectures from him when we done something wrong. I think I would like a spanking because lectures were so long.
What a Classic song well sang by John McDermott. Tribute to my Dad a Proud Irish and Kilkenny man passed on 1st Nov 1970 All Saints Day his wish, Miss you still like as you went yesterday I'll never forget you and I'm Proud to say you made me what I AM LOVE YOU.
How I miss my father, teacher. Friend, so well stated in this sad and beautiful ballad , God Bless You Mr McDermott. May Gods Light forever shine upon you
I lost both of my grandfathers in the past month. They played this song at his funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the funeral home. We loved the both of them so dearly and it still really hurts that they're gone. Rest in Peace.
Love this song. So beautiful I am the only son. My dad die of cancer. He was more than a father to me. He was my best friend. I miss him so much. Thank you for this beautiful song. Dad R.i.p I love you.
Miss you everyday Da, I am glad the Lord to yuh home peacefully and that I was there when you drew your last breath. You waited for me and I am eternally grateful for that and our faith 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Yes, i never will forget him, my dear father. Thank you for singing with your heart and beautiful voice. It's an ever-ready tribute to loving fathers who've gone ahead.
So much left unsaid no second chance to tell you thanks but I miss him so much my old man. Love you dad. Rest in Peace. Thank you for being my dad. xxx
The song always reminded me, of my Grandfather. He has been gone for so long now... But his memory always endures. Pictures, family albums... & The gifts he left me.... The places he once took me. For example.. On A Trip To see & show me where he once lived, & was Born. Out in the Middle Of Nowhere... Only building foundations were left & there were wild animals. It was less then a ghost town at that point. Even back then. ~RIP Walter Whalen~ *The rest of the grave stones writing is worn off from time* ... I loved you, pop. :`) I always did. I was one of the Paul Bearers at his funeral & read out, a speech dedicated to honor his passing. I wrote it myself. So long ago. Its True. Black & White TV was a new innovation for him. he never understood televisions, im not sure what he would of thought of the internet. He likely would of just went back to work out at sea. Times were very different. This was a man who grew up watching and chasing wild sheep... it is beyond surreal, yet facts. Just, A very ,very long time ago. He somehow survived growing up in a rural area of N.L, A place so isolated, & lacking in medical care... it killed his own sister. Tuberculosis did. After that, his dad *My Great Grandfather*.,.died, A week later, with a hammer in his hand. Putting up a door frame, from rage. and breaking it... Heart-attack. Yet, he & his his sons knew success. But not one branch of descendants; there after.. Weird Double Edged Family Curses.. are real in some generations. ~The end. P.S ~ & I Still miss him, to this very day. it gets somewhat easier with alot of time. eventually. He never trusted schools, yet he learned how to make a living by himself. Other opportunities existed here, back then. Yet he watched his own dad die in front of him & he was as hard as frozen nails. except with me. I remember. He fished on old cold, oceans. he hated land. Thus, he took to sea, from a very young age.
Rest in peace dad, we never said we love each other, until you were ready to die, but we always new in our hearts we loved each other and we always showed it in our actions ,,your son John
I lost my Dad on February 4th 1989. He was a wonderful gentle man and there is not a day goes by when I don’t think of him. I loved him dearly. R.I P Dad....until we meet again.
Imma be real, never comment really, but for those whose lost their father and found this song, it gets better. It sucks, but it eventually does. Keep your head up
i lost my grandad a few months ago because of cancer this was played at his funeral i love this song he was the best grandad rip grandad always in my heart x
I lost mine in 2020 it was his funeral song as well I couldn't cry then because my gran was holding my hand but every single time I have heard it since that day I have cried.
The song was written by Phil Coulter. The first time I heard it was on a cassette by a local group in eastern Ontario called the Brigadoons. I have heard many fine covers since and John's has always been right up there. After almost 30 years, I miss him, the old man!
Beste Pa! In jou 97ste jaar het jy aangestap. Ja, 7 jaar terug het ek al hierdie song vir jou begrafnis gekies. Geweet ek sal die begrafenis moet lei/ly. Nou dat dit gekom het, weet ek die! Ek mis jou Oubaas, ons mis jou. Mooi rus, en lekker leef!
The tears have all been shed now We've said our last good-byes His soul's been blessed and he's laid to rest And it's now I feel alone He was more than just a father A teacher my best friend He can still be heard in the tunes we shared When we play them on our own I never will forget him for he made me what I am Though he may be gone memory lingers on And I miss him ... The old man As a boy he'd take me walkin' By mountian field and stream And he showed me things not known to kings And secret between him and me Like the colors of the pheasant As he rises in the dawn And how to fish and make a wish Beside the holly tree I never will forget him for he made me what I am Though he may be gone memory lingers on And I miss him ... The Old Man I thought he'd live forever He seemed so big and strong But the minutes fly and the years roll by For a father and his son And suddenly when it happened There was so much left unsaid No second chance to tell him thanks For everything he's done I never will forget him for he made me what I am Though he may be gone memory lingers on And I miss him ... The Old Man
Does anyone have John singing his Christmas song "That Old Tin Star"? It's a great one that show us what life is really about. We should never grow too old to see beauty with a touch of aw and wonder.
It is said that we leave a piece of ourselves with everyone we've met, The part of me that's with him is happy knowing he's not in pain anymore. The part of me that's still here will miss him until that day when we meet again, and he smirks and gives me a hug, and everything's okay again. Until then I'll miss him whenever something reminds me of him.. Rest In Peace George David Carter. 8/8/1954 - 6/21/2019
aw, that brought a tear to my eye, dont mind what ur friends think, this song is magic. and im sure ur dad forgave u long time, now do him proud, and grow up the best u can :-)
This song reminds me of what my husband who passed away he would show our son how to do things like to change the oil in his car and love of music and he would teach our son many things that can pass those to our grandson Crowley will learn from his Dad Curtis.

My dad passed away in 1986. And all these years later I still miss him. I was a real daddy's girl growing up. He was the best Dad us 4 kids could ever have had. ❤
This song has truly blessed me.
I lost my wonderful father June 4th, 1990.
It's hard to believe 32 years have so quickly slipped by.
I have needed him in those years because of difficult trials.
I sometimes go to his graveside and speak as if he can hear me.
It's there I tell him my sorrows.
However, I am thankful for Jesus Christ, my good Shepherd, who will lead me the rest of my journey.
Until we meet again dad, on that glorious shore, I love you.
my dad has been gone now for over 42 years, i still miss him, i still cry for him, he gave me my morals, my religion, my whole way of life, he was some man, he gave me my Scottish pride, jim little

Miss you dad the picking of the mucrooms in sleattey on the back of the honda❤
The words are too true! Miss my dad everyday. He wasn't my biological father but Ihe was the best dad in his unconventional way. I miss you MIKE!
He has been gone for 23 years and " I still miss him".
Always 💔💔💔💔💔
I lost my father ten years ago today. I also miss The Old Man of my life. My kids call me that now, and I consider it a great compliment.
As someone whos never known or met my father, i dont feel i connect with the song the same way as everyone else, but i still find something so beautiful and profound in this that really makes me feel what john is feeling, i send my love and best wishes to everyone in these comments and feel grateful that i have the amazing family i do (it was actually my granda who showed me this song)
Music is a powerful thing
Same here, i never had a dad, but im happy for all who did, this song is for them
Mine deserted us six kids, he was always out there somewhere, while we suffered
For all here who didn't have their father present as they grew up. It is and was not easy. I share peace with you all.
Have solace and thanks for precisely knowing why you came to this world. As this is clear. You are here to be pure love. You know the pain of absense and you are here to show everyone in your life what it means to love and be loved. The highest honour in this world. It is in your power to now chose if you will carry out this ask of you in this lifetime.

I send sincerest blessings to you all.
Such thoughtful kind words. I needed to hear something beautiful like that and it’s nice knowing there are kind people like you out in this world.
God bless you.
Sounds like a good grandad 💔💔💔💔
I lost my Dad when I was in Basic Training in 1973. I didn’t get to go to his funeral, but I will always remember him as my best friend! 🙏🏻❤️
My Da went into hospital for what i think is the end. I live 3000 miles away and can't get into the hospital anyway because of Covid.

Am crying listening to this song lovely words .my dad has passed away miss him every day. 20 years ago 😢

Love you dad xxx
JAIME HINES IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS......THIS Past November 24th was 7 years my beloved Dad wS called home. This is the song we have played.
Know exactly how you feel my friend.
What a wonderful song. He has such a way with the words. Words convey the meaning more than music.😢
It is said that a man is allowed to cry on two occasions. When his father dies and when his dog dies.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Reminds me so much of my Dad. If you watch McDermott he must be thinking of his "old Man' too. As he says..."I never will forget him, for he made me what I am". He tears up in this one. He also carrys a cain which I bet is his Dad's. He kisses a ring which I bet is his Dad's too. You can see the emotion from him I feel when I watch him.

i lost my grandad a few months ago because of cancer this was played at his funeral i love this song he was the best grandad rip grandad always in my heart x
I lost mine in 2020 it was his funeral song as well I couldn't cry then because my gran was holding my hand but every single time I have heard it since that day I have cried.
I always think I can make it through this song then. The third verse hits me like a ton of bricks.
yes indeed
Yup the old man my daddy
I know how you feel. My dad loved this song and called himself the old man. I cry every time I hear it.
Played this at my dads funeral last week rest in peace dad mick Daly the legend 💔💔😢😢
My grandfather is 2020 I still cry everytime I hear this.
The song was written by Phil Coulter. The first time I heard it was on a cassette by a local group in eastern Ontario called the Brigadoons. I have heard many fine covers since and John's has always been right up there. After almost 30 years, I miss him, the old man!

Beste Pa! In jou 97ste jaar het jy aangestap. Ja, 7 jaar terug het ek al hierdie song vir jou begrafnis gekies. Geweet ek sal die begrafenis moet lei/ly. Nou dat dit gekom het, weet ek die! Ek mis jou Oubaas, ons mis jou. Mooi rus, en lekker leef!
The tears have all been shed now
We've said our last good-byes
His soul's been blessed and he's laid to rest
And it's now I feel alone
He was more than just a father
A teacher my best friend
He can still be heard in the tunes we shared
When we play them on our own
I never will forget him for he made me what I am
Though he may be gone memory lingers on
And I miss him ... The old man
As a boy he'd take me walkin'
By mountian field and stream
And he showed me things not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colors of the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
And how to fish and make a wish
Beside the holly tree
I never will forget him for he made me what I am
Though he may be gone memory lingers on
And I miss him ... The Old Man
I thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly and the years roll by
For a father and his son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance to tell him thanks
For everything he's done
I never will forget him for he made me what I am
Though he may be gone memory lingers on
And I miss him ... The Old Man
Does anyone have John singing his Christmas song "That Old Tin Star"? It's a great one that show us what life is really about. We should never grow too old to see beauty with a touch of aw and wonder.
I listen to this song every so often. Great song. 😢
It is said that we leave a piece of ourselves with everyone we've met, The part of me that's with him is happy knowing he's not in pain anymore.

Man is this guy ever talented
I miss my dad so much 💔. 1928 -2020

This song reminds me of what my husband who passed away he would show our son how to do things like to change the oil in his car and love of music and he would teach our son many things that can pass those to our grandson Crowley will learn from his Dad Curtis.
