Happy Father's Day To The Best Dad Ever

 

Father, Soldier, Teacher, Peacekeeper

I miss him every single day

 

 

When he turned 15 he decided that he didn't want to go into the nickel mines like most of his classmates did and joined the army. He was discovered to be too young to join so they made him repeat his first year of basic. He didn't care. It just made him into Cadet of the Year.

 

 

 

 

I remember growing up wanting for nothing. My father even researched action figures because never did a Christmas go by (he died when I was 40) when I didn't get great action figures from him. He was always interested in whatever I was doing. I know he would have loved this blog and I am sorry he never got a chance to read it.

 

 

 

Lifelong sportsman and outdoorsman. Taught me survival skills and how to hunt and fish while respecting both the animals and the land. He made sure that both me and my sister were University education and well travelled so that we could contribute to this world rather than take from it. He also loved to solve mysteries and we could have been a great detective duo in another life.
