I’m so very thankful to have had a wonderful father in my life. He was humble and kind and was excepting of all. He would have happily given you anything you asked, and he would be the first to offer his help if you needed it.
Yes he was particular as to his likes and dislikes and he seldom initiated conversation but he loved a good joke and he loved having his family around him always.
He would sing, play the piano and dance (just for the fun of it in the kitchen), eat candy continuously, crack peanuts and always peel his apples with a paring knife.
Whether golfing or ping pong or poker or ‘carpentry’(basically making anything he could from wood), he would do it all while whistling happily off-key.
He was a provider and a loving caring family man. He never judged others, he just simply ‘went with the flow’ and accepted you as you were.
He loved being active in all sports and travelling exploring different places. He was knowledgeable on many subjects and he always had an answer for all of my questions.
He taught me to appreciate life, the simplicity of human kindness, and most importantly to love with all my heart.
I will forever love my Dad, and I will never forget all the amazing cherished memories he gave to me .
Joanne ❤️
