BigFish....Great post. Your dad sounds like a great guy.
I'm lucky enough to still have my father as I'm a little younger than most of you. I'm taking him and his father(94 years young I think) out to lunch for Father's day.
I will however be remembering my mother's father this father's day. He was the best grandfather. He taught me how to fish and crab(chicken leg on a string). He fought in WW2 and then worked for the post office all the way until retirement. My mother always tells me how he would work a a double shift every christmas eve but always make sure he was up for when her and my uncle would open there gifts on Christmas morning. He was someone that never had anything given to him and but was always doing things for people less fortunate than him. I miss him more and more as time goes on but find comfort in the fact that he lived such and admirable life.
