What a colorful family history. You should write a book for the future
generation. Makes you wonder if times were better then than now. We have
more technology and free time but were they happier then? Work helps
define us but it is relationships (the way we treat our fellow man)
which proves our connection with God.

5 brothers and one sister and my grandma from Ireland spent a lot of time and influence, my Dad was from a Family of 13 whose Dad died when he was 11. All the kids went to work to support his Family and he got a job on. A Glouster Two masted schoone fishing for Cod in the Atlantic Grand Banks.
Coping with the depression and Bank Failures he was a good Business Man and bought Real Estate when it was less expensive
He had a fourth Grade education and with drive and determination amazed 40 rental properties which I Managed and repaired.
I treasure my Memory of him and My Mom. Thanks for asking.

Thanks Tom.

Sounds like you had a good relationship with your Dad. You must have
precious memories working with him in your store. How many were you in
the family?

So far, it’s the guys who this article resonates with.

TGIF!

Very touching video – and learned some thing. Sun glass correction for colored blindness! We know a few friends that are colorblind, I will make sure they know about this if they don’t already know. I can only imagine how ‘blah’ this would be in black and white.

Regarding your dear Dad. The most important thing is pray for him to ‘see’, then to be the best son for him and then, to be the Best most loving Faith Based Dad God will grant you the ability to be for your Kids, family and friends. I am so blessed, my Dad was just one of those men. A very special Dad. Was he perfect? No, but he loved Jesus and all of us. Were we perfect? NO, but he still loved us! He was an incredible person and my example to this day, some 10 years after his passing. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t have a sweet thought about him and his faith, and good sense of humor and reality. His faith was the kind of faith, much like yours my brother, that has feet. He and my Mom were always helping others. God has blessed me with knowing you too amigo.

Love and blessings,

Brother Chuck

Please give him my best and may God continue to bless him.

Thanks for the TGIF and have a good week.

The piece about your dad was profoundly moving.

It’s already made my day.

I hope the rest of your time with him goes well; and that there’s still joy and excitement spending precious hours with him.

Your friend,
