My father died when I was 7. I was his favorite child, and he was my beloved father. I brought him along with me all through my life. Every elderly man has a bit of my father in him for me.

My dad died when I was 23. His death was sudden and shocking - the result of a car crash - and I never got to say goodbye.

My father died when I was five, but I grew up in a strong family.

No, my father passed away when I was 13 years old. I was very young.

My father passed away in 2002, but yes, we were pretty close. I loved him a lot.

I used to say that my own father was dead, because he might as well have been. He was in Argentina and didn't play a part in my life. He and my mother divorced when I was only two.

My father was out of my life when I was pretty young - when I was 7 years old, he was gone. I didn't see him for the rest of my childhood.

My dad died when he was 60. I was only 17 and I think, psychologically, that had a huge impact on me, probably more than I realised.

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.

My father died when I was seven, leaving a widow and five sons, ranging in age from five to seventeen. My mother was the most highly-disciplined and hardest working person I have ever known, and this, combined with her love and gentleness, enabled her to make a success of each of her children.
