Your Dad sounds like such a special man, not only to your family but to all he met. His industry of spirit and drive to remain useful is a lesson we all could benefit by. Lucky you to have had him.

A beautiful tribute to your father. He sounds like he instilled great values in you.

He is also a powerhouse, having broken abusive cycles. I, too, broke the abusive cycles and am happy my kids didn’t have to know any of it

I enjoy your writings

He sounds wonderful, and what a testimony to someone who changed his life's direction by simply persevering in life above his hard childhood. He is a beautiful example. I am glad you shared his story.

Your memories serve to introduce us to a lovely human being - your father! If only more people shared his ethics - not only of "work", but too the pleasures in life of spreading his kindness to others. My father had similar life ethics - keeping a full schedule with all the many hats he wore. Such a blessing to have these men.
