I am Robert’s oldest daughter and I just wanted to say thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart! Music 🎶 was everything to him and he always told my siblings, my kids and myself to “keep on pikin!” That was it for him. He was a funny, loving and very selfless man. He wanted to become something else knowing what science has proven that energy can change forms but never be destroyed. He trusted you with this project and I know he would not be disappointed! I’m sure he is smiling now wherever he is in this vast universe and happy as he could ever be with exactly how it turned out! 💖 thank you sooooooooooooo much for honoring our father this way! 🎶

Music was everything to my father and he wanted to continue on, resonating with the sound of music. For months preceding his death my father wouldn't stop talking about your channel and his wish to you Jerry, and he was fully confident in your experience and skillset to perform this request. Thank you for taking up the task, the guitar looks wonderful, and I am sure he would be proud.

The hospice Chaplin that visited our Dad each week in his final months nicknamed him “doubting Turner” like doubting Thomas in the Bible. My Dad believed but the unknowns are what kept him wondering “how do I leave this world?” he asked me.... “is heaven in the stars? Do I go out in a giant ball of gas?”

Thank you!!!!! My Daddy had a faith in an afterlife and in God just like others but also understood as science has tried to disprove the idea of energy/spirituality/religion (whatever you choose to call it) they have only proven it more. He had no doubt there was a better and pain free place waiting for him however for part of his energy to live on through music meant everything to him. People spread ashes in special places and as you have already said tattooed them, I wear my Dad’s ashes around my neck so he is always with me yet these same people think this is morbid or strange?! I don’t think my Father could possibly be any happier with how it turned out and Jerry did an amazing job! All the little “imperfections” is exactly what makes it perfect ❤️
@thebones3 жыл бұрын
@@babyteagsrocks what are you talking about? Science has never tried to disprove god or spirituality, (whatever you mean by that). When examining the material world, god isn't even considered because it can't be proven or measured, there is no way to evaluate it. Get your anti-science chip off your shoulder and realise that just about everything you saw in that video, (including the filming itself) was provided by science - Jerry's skill apart. The transcendent and science both exist in our little world, you don't have to make another war out of it. Peace.

Jerry, that's a pretty touching story, isn't it? As regards your Harbor Freight spray gun, check and adjust the packing nut, as that's most likely the source of your gun dripping finish. I was glad to hear that you have a better quality gun than the one you used here, as there is a significant difference between cheap spray guns and those from companies whose sole focus is finishing equipment such as Fuji Spray.
