1910

May 27, 1910 was the day my dad was born in St. Joseph, Missouri. He was the youngest of 4 children (living). My dad was the greatest dad ever. He loved his family and loved being the only guy in our household. He was humble, kind, generous, loving and above all a terrific husband and father. He lived for his girls and was so involved in our lives and made growing up so fun in our house. He was in the Navy, stationed in Hawaii when I was born, and I was 6 months old the first time he saw me. He was very handsome and looked like a movie star in his uniform. I grew up in a small town in southern Idaho. My dad owned a dry cleaners and we lived in the country on 3 acres. We had farm animals and always a cat and dog while I was growing up. Dad loved taking care of our small farm as well as running his business. He was loved by everyone who knew him. My dad was always whistling and the kids on the dry cleaning delivery route, would hear him coming up the sidewalk and they loved for him to come to their house, because he always had Tootsie Rolls to hand out. My Dad passed away on April 16, 1997 in Boise Idaho. I am so proud to be his daughter and love all the wonderful memories I have of him in my heart. So happy 98th birthday dad.. It's your special day. Love you forever..
