Since injuring my knee I'm in very rare form having WAY too much free time on my hands so I thought that I'd post a picture of my dad and myself at what I believe was his 42nd birthday back in about 1965 so that puts me at about 9 years old.
He was the greatest dad ever who loved his family above all else. He was also a master woodworker and I used to love tagging along with him in his woodshop or helping him pull the freshly cut boards off his own backyard sawmill. Needless to say, he was my sole inspiration for a lifetime in working with wood.
Most of all he set me up for success in life by teaching me patience and how to respect others. I can only recall him raising his voice at me a couple of times growing up and he never-ever laid a hand on me in anger. I could never imagine ever doing anything to disapoint him and that was enough to keep me in line.
