Some thoughts from his loving son, me.

Things I learned from my Dad

Trial & Error and perseverance will solve almost thing
If you see blood, don't whine, just figure out whose it is
Guests are always welcome
Toys are fun
The joy of the kitchen
Roughing it doesn't have to be rough
Sticking your tongue out of the corner of your mouth can help you concentrate.
Always carry a pocket knife
How tapping your wedding ring on the car door frame with the window down helps pass the miles
How to smile (he always seemed to have a permanent grin)
To love your wife
There is such a thing as redemption & coming back to the fold.
