I'm very sorry to hear this Tim. I miss my dad every day . I understand where you are.
My dad was a mischievous, hard drinking, cantankerous, and often funny guy that used to spy on the Russians. I'd say more but...

Sorry for your loss Timmah. Be happy for the times you had. I lost my hero 28 years ago when I was only 18 but learned quite a bit in that time.

Except for the narries, sounds like mine. Dad's parents and sisters were alcoholics. He almost never touched the stuff. Only time I ever saw him drunk, he went to a CYO meeting (adult moderator) and went out with a few with "Faaather O'Neill" afterwards. A few was all he could handle.
timmah, I'm very sorry for your loss, and besides the above, I don't have a lot of crazy stories to share. My dad was orphaned at 10, raised by an aunt during the Depression, worked every day of his life since he was 15, except for the three years he spent taking 3 German bullets. He was a hard-working, strict but fair dad, who gave a lot to kids in Scouts and CYO, and handed his whole paycheck over to mom every Thursday. Not a guy who was colorful in any way. Just a good, decent man and father who I've missed now for almost 32 years to the day. |
