The night I came into the world, my nan and Daddy got drunk in a bar and played Tony Bennett's Cinnamon Sinner for 4 hours straight on the juke box. That about sums him up ... he was the absolute GREATEST!!! WWII vet; Holy Cross ... I loved him and miss him dearly. |

eccentric = quilted olive green paisley pedal pushers (we call the capris now) and a matching olive green shirt that tied at the waist
that outfit mortified me at the time since none of the other mothers wore anything resembling it and my sister takes after her - I helped her shop for some kind of rubber or latex dress that she was gonna wear with a really fluffy pale pink sweater - obviously I learned to like eccentricity later |

My dad and I have never been close, he is anti war, I was in the military, he was a college physics teacher, I am a cisco nerd. He tries to be closer to me but
we are just too different. I should try to be closer to him as I can see from many posts that they are not around for ever and we need to enjoy them when they
are here.

Never really knew my birth dad, but found out quite a bit about him in the last few years. Seems he was a fairly decent guy who got in way over his head and
split on my mom and us kidlings when the couldn't handle her. I hated him for years. My newfound sisters really gave me some insight into him. We might
have gotten along famously if things had been different. A drunk driver creamed him on his motorcycle years ago.
My adopted dad passed on two years ago...he got the Alzheimer's and it just kicked his ass. He was a pretty hands-off dad unless punishment was warranted, then he was pretty fucking hands-on. Old school Baptists believe in spanking BIG TIME. He did the best he could, I suppose. We were never close, but came to a good understanding of one another before I struck out on my own. Well, THAT calls for a beer if nothing else... |

I love my dad so much, he is a friend and good father to me and my older brothers. He took care to school by morning and he gave me a money for a needed
allowance.

He's in his 70s now. Easygoing with flashes of a hot Irish temper and sarcastic wit. Growing up he was basically the dad from the Wonder Years, except was
more than willing to cook and clean and assist mom. Worked hard his whole life and always put his wife and kids first in everything at the expense of himself.
People talk about "the fear of god." Well he carried "the fear of dad." A look or a warning and you knew where the boundaries were. I
respect no man living or dead more than him.

Amen, CN, amen. My dad is the same way, we respect each other but we have our differences and we have learned live with each other that way.

My dad's an underground dad now -- for 3 years. Sunday, I'll probably play the answering machine where he sang Happy Birthday to me. I kept that.
Very prescient, since it was 3 months between my birthday and when he died in an accident, although he was 81 and not in good health.
Hug your dads while you got em. |

mine is a former executive and ceo in the oil and gas industry...he used to be really strict and uptight, but has relaxed a ton now that he's in retirement
and has a grandson...he's making up for all the lost years he focused on business and not so much with his kids.

My wonderful father died 19 years ago. He was a strict disciplinarian, who commanded and earned the respect of his seven children. He liked to drink rum and
Pepsi, and whistled a lot. Once I turned him onto the TV show Cheers, he was hooked.
He always had to have the latest gadgets, i.e. Beta VCR, CB radio, scanner, etc. He also loved to look information up. It really makes me sad that he missed the computer/internet age. He would have had a ball! When I visited him in the hospital shortly before he died, there was a hospital chaplain there, and Dad introduced me as "one of my joys of living." I miss him. |

My dad is one of the best people I've ever known. He is kind, quiet, gentle, smart and hilarious. Animals have always been drawn to him - no matter where
he is. He went to all my basketball games for years. And the worst thing he could say was that he was disappointed in me. I still ask him for advice on a
regular basis. And he treats me like an equal - not a kid. He's been in love with my mom since she was 15 and he was 18 and they have been married for 41
years. He rides a dirt bike on the weekend, is an amazing woodworker and landscaped his several acre yard by himself. I love my dad.
