My Dad was the best Dad ever. I’m not being biased…just saying! All my brothers and sisters will tell you the same. If that’s not enough to convince you ask any of our friends from high school, who to this day still refer to him as “Dad”. He was a strong man who believed in discipline. if you were in our home, you obeyed the rules, but it wasn’t fear, it was love and respect! I pray I’m half the DAD he was to me, my siblings and so many friends!
