No : (

Lost my dad back on New Years 2013. Yes, I remember his voice. As well as that of my granpa, who passed when I was like 6 years old.

Adi’s voice was a typical New York accent. It sounded like the people I heard in those English radio courses. It was very easy to hear what he said.

Maybe you thought of it because tonight the deaf girl on Americas Got Talent said she couldn’t remember what her dad’s voice sounded like.

I remember what my grandparents’ voices sounded like. I lost one grandfather in my early teens, one in my mid teens, and my grandmother 5 years ago. My other grandmother I never knew.

Yes !

Yes.

Maybe you can find a recording? Cassettes? Home movies?

No. Not really. I have a vague memory, and I’m sure if I heard it again I would recognize it immediately, but I can’t bring their voices to mind. Sad. I wish I had recordings of their (my Dad or my sister’s) voices.

Sort of. It’s faint. I can’t hear them say anything in particular, but I think I remember the texture and feeling of their voice… Three grandparents. Oddly, it’s the voice of the one I lost first that seems easiest to recall, but I haven’t heard her voice in 17 years.

I can recall my fathers voice but mainly when I remember how he used to say my name.

And I can remember my maternal grandmothers because I feel that she spoke to me one night several years after she died and I recognized the voice as hers.

My memory was damaged due to an accident several years ago.
Regained memories have come back funny. Sometimes I get some funny little memory back, like an old favorite keychain, and how it felt in my hand. Sometimes I get a whole cluster of memories spread out over a few days, like waiting for a bus Ithink, “Oh yeah. I remeber that boyfriend. Weird that he was completely gone, and now I remember bunches.” And then watching tv, I remember the time I drank from the soda can I was using for an ashtray.
Nearly every time I remember stuff, I go through smells which aren’t really there first.
There are some voices from my past I remember, and some I don’t, both living and gone.
It is a reassuring feeling each time I regain another memory.

Don’t feel sadness or loss about a voice you can’t fully recall. Be very happy for each memory you do have.
Voices are the easiest to remember wrong, or lose altogether.

I lost my dad eleven years ago, and I don’t really remember his voice unless I dream about him, then it’s fresh in my mind for a while.

Yes, I definitely can. I remember my Grannie’‘s voice ( she died in 1974) and my Grampa’s way of saying, “bless you Brother”.

And, I remember the voice of a dear friend who died suddenly 18 years ago.

My mother died a little before your dad. Sadly I cannot remember her voice. But!!! I was a precocious kid back then and for at least a year knew she was dying so I recorded her voice openly (and secretly) on a 3 inch reel-to-reel tape recorder. Those tapes probably still exist. I have not seen them in ages but I would never throw out anything like that. Maybe the tape has degenerated by now. Who knows…
I remember the sound of my dad’s voice, but he died more recently – about 20 years ago.

This is a beautiful question. Thank you for asking.

My father (such as he was) died in 1998, and I can still clearly imagine his obnoxious voice….

“If you WEAR YOUR HAIR LONG, it means you’re AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT !!”

(This, from a guy who kept two sets of books for his business, and had a second Social Security card with a fake name, apparently so he could double-collect….).

^^GA. LOL.

Hmm, grandma died doing what she loved, she was a keen birdwatcher & was so distracted looking through her binoculars at this kestrel that she failed to notice the cliff edge & stepped off.
I can still hear her final words as she departed this world, “oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttt!!”
