Happy Father's Day in Heaven!
When I think about you I joyfully remember these things ..... bookcases full of books, kindness, baseball, car rides, pancakes, fishing, Coney Island, fedora hats and long wool overcoats, reading glasses in your shirt pocket, The Daily Mirror and The Daily News, Sans Souci Park, black licorice, white shirts and handkerchiefs, hazel eyes, patience, freckles, Army, television, the Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Phil Silver, and Red Skelton shows, blue suits, Mairzy Doats song, Pennsylvania, reliability, Million Dollar Movie, sense of humor, shrimp chow mein...... loving your family and being the best Dad I could have ever had.
Also, Happy Father's Day to my loving husband ... the best Dad my children could ever have!
I love you, honey!
Beautiful tribute, Pat!
