Sorry to hear that he is gone so early. I lost one of my best friends a few years ago, he was 48 and left a 37 year old wife and 4 year old daughter. It can happen at any time and I am 53 now.
Lost my Father 14 years ago, one year after Mom passed. Its really hard, and in our case brought the family together when we had to clean out the house and stuff. Find something that you shared together, hopefully a tool or the like. Keep it and everytime you use it, think of him. I have his jewelers screwdrivers that he used to tighten up his glasses and everything small. Still brings a smile to my face when I use it and think of him.
It gets easier, but takes time. For many years I would think of something and start to pick up the phone and call. Slowly it ceases but you never forget them nor what they meant and did for you.
