The Mammoth WVH leader has often shared how much his father meant to him, with the very first song that kicked off his Mammoth WVH career, "Distance," serving as an ode to Eddie Van Halen.
"I wish you were here so I could give you a big hug, go to dinner, celebrate it with you and make a dumb joke about it being your 69th birthday. Just regular shit. I miss hearing you laugh. I miss laughing with you. It's the little things," says Wolfgang in his social media post.
"I'll do my best to keep a smile on my face and think of you today. But then again, that's not very different than any other day so far without you. I love and miss you more than you could ever possibly know," concludes the musician, signing off with a "Happy birthday, pop" and a heart emoji and sharing a photo they took together.
