My dad would be 111 this May. He's been gone since 2000. I think about him every day, wondering how I can ever measure up to him. But I know that I never will.

My folks, with Mom holding my oldest sister, who will be 83 in about 3 weeks:

My natural father passed when I was 15 months old.
Sure hope I can meet him in heaven.

My dad called a couple days ago to wish himself a happy birthday before going to bed. He's like 95 or something? Anyways, he wanted to know why I didn't call him. Seriously? I don't even know what day of the week it is most of the time. Trying to remember a particular day out of the year has about 56 times less significance to me Doctor tells him he should be good for 110.

My Dad passed away last month. He was 93, and survived my Mom by 15 years, one day.

My dad passed in 2012 at 92. He set a high bar that the family can reach for.

I think of him often, especially when I grab a tool he gave me or when I’m trying to figure out how to do a project around the house. It’s like his voice telling me to do it this way, not that way, kid.

Lost mine in '85. Would have been 100. Miss him dearly.
Too late for missed apologies, congratulations and above all
THANK YOU's for all he gave us in love and work.
