Anyone who knows the storyline of Superman knows that Jonathan Kent suffers a fatal heart attack when Clark is in his teens. And even though we knew it was coming, to have it finally play out doesn't make it any easier to accept.
Since it's premier back in 2001, we've watched the elder Kent, played by John Schneider of "The Dukes of Hazzard" fame, guide young Clark as his son slowly grows into his super powers.
On a more personal note, and to step away from my uber-geek personae for a moment, I've never dealt well with death. Even if it is the death of a ficticious character, just the notion of someone losing another to death has bothered me.
On that, I'm sure that other viewers of "Smallville" will miss John/Jonathan.

I didn't know that Clark Kent's dad is Bo Duke!
