Tell him, don't let anything stop you. Really, it's important. If you can't work up the courage to say the words while standing in front of him, write it down (hallmark card whatever) walk up to him and hand it over. Tell him why you love and appreciate him.
Don't let the chance to tell him slip away, you never know when you wont have him around anymore.
I hope you find the resolve to accomplish this, I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

You need to just tell him man...You never know If today or the next day is your last day, no one is guranteed a tomorrow..Just have a man to man sit down with him and just let him know that you appreciate everything he has done for you and continues to ...Im sure he will be stoked to hear it...hes your dad your suppose to love him
He could be gone tomorrow.
Next time you see him, pull him aside and say, Dad, I know you already know this, but I want to say it anyway, you are very important to me, and I love you very much, then give him a big hug, and that's it.
You will feel better after.
You will feel terrible if something happens and you didn't say it.
I've lost loved ones before their time, you think about the last time you saw them, and what you said.
Everyone in my life knows how I feel about them in no uncertain terms, even my brother, it was hard saying it to him, but we do now.

this is a start. i would get some good bubble too. get him good and baked and just tell him you been tryin to say this for a while and never knew how to say it. he will probably first think your about to come out of the closet (and im not talking about with a bountiful harvest lol) just start by tellin him you appreciate all the shit he has done for you. dads are pretty much not touchy feely kinda people just start a conversation about the stuff you have gone through with your mom and thank him for being there for all of the shit life has thrown at you and finish it up with the i love you man. it will get easier with time bro you just gotta take that first step. remember its your pop he aint gonna run around and bag on ya to your friends ha ha my son is so weak he told me he loved me lol. he will prob respect you a lil more by taking the plunge into adulthood and expressing your feelings.
if you can't tell him then show him. dont get fixated on the words.
just don't tell him your internet handle where you got this great advice is "ass2mouth"

Tell him. Life is short and you don't want to regret not doing so.
Being a divorced father who kids live in another state, when I hear from then and they tell me they love me, well.......there's no way to describe the feeling. It's better than any weed, better than mind blowing sex. It's just fucking awesome and I relish those words more than anything.
Just tell him.

im sure he probably knows and that its not easy for you you to just come out with it. im the same as you and in my own way i let him know by saying thankyou for everything you did for me.
just like this......
"pop I know you allready know but I wanted to say thanks for allways being there even when I wasn't & I love you " part of being a grown man is talking bout the mushy stuff sometimes swallow the pride let the words fly & I gaurentee youll fell better

For sure.
If you can't tell him, then show him. He'll understand.
Or like someone else said, write him a letter. Sometimes it's easier to put things into words when you do it on paper.
Definitely figure out some way to tell/show him though. My grandma came very close to death recently (we were told multiple times she wouldn't make it through the night) and I felt horrible that I'd never told her how much I love and appreciate her.
"Present your family and friends with their eulogies now - they won't be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from inside the coffin."
they are just words,they only have as much power as you put in to them,and it doesnt have to be words either,sometimes its just that look or nod that says the same thing,and depending on what generation your dad is from,he is probably even more uncomfortable than you about such things,but do it somehow....

Go camping and hunting with him, make a kill and sit around the campfire eating a fresh roast and wash it down with a case or 3 of beer and a bottle of irish whiskey.
Then casually tell him the reason you planned the trip was to say thank you for everything he's done for you and leave it at that.
Your dad already knows you love him and sometimes it's easier to show people you love them than to say the words.
Words are cheap and actions speak louder than words type of thing....

Bro, IMO, you must say the words, even if you only do it once, and both almost die from embarrassment.
You're saying it for you, he already knows, you can take comfort from having said it when he's gone.
You know what?
Do it now, call him, or go to him if he's close by and say it.
Just get it over with.
When he answers the phone, say dad, it's me, your son, ass2mouth, I want you to know how much I love you, every things fine with me, that's all, talk to you later dad.

All of the above - my dad was kinda not the "I love you" type, but I make sure to tell him, and my kids, and my wife everyday that I love them.
Just say it.
The way I look at it
saying "im sorry" and "i love you" are two hard things to do anyways, most things in life that actually MEAN SOMETHING to you will bring emotion and there is nothing wrong with it.
let him know and just like with anything we LIKE when people say nice things to us even if we all know everyone already knows it.
Unsaid words are NOT as meaningful as the ones that actually come out of your mouth.
