Dad - early 1960s

This photo of my Dad was taken in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains sometime in the early 1960s.  What a great guy!  My mother made the comment the other day that if she had to use one word to sum up my father it would be "fun".  And she's absolutely right ... he was fun to be around and as good natured as they come.  We think of him every day and miss him terribly. 

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day!

I wish my father were still here ... his unexpected death two years ago was quite a blow to us all.  He was such a fun person and even at age 85 never seemed old.  Just an all around great guy and nothing I could write would do him justice.  Here he is in 1964 at Easter when my parents would take us to Battlefield Park (that explains the cannon!) for Easter egg hunts.  I don't recall ever seeing him in a tie again except for funerals or weddings ... he just wasn't a tie kinda man!  Happy Father's Day, Dad!
