U.S.Army
My father and mother had six sons and six daughters. He was the most loving and the most patient man I ever knew. We grew up in a home where we might not have had too many luxuries, but there was more than enough love to go around. They were married forty five years when my mother passed away. There was a part of him that went with her,but the father and grandfather we knew was there until almost the very end.
My father was known as a well rounded jack-of-all-trades . He sewed many of our dresses (he was a tailor for a while), baked the best cakes & bread, his homemade pineapple ice cream can never be duplicated. He cooked, helped clean the house when my mother gave a good fight( not really), and before it was fashionable, he bathe his daughters as well as his sons. He dressed us, combed our hair, and was active in pta's. He built things, bookcases, shelves ,tables, repaired anything that broke. His pride was that his daughters could do everything from soup to nuts and bolts.
He also liked to play pranks on his grandchildren and they loved it. He had a quiet sense of humor.
My mother put our father on a pedestal and we kept him there.
My father died of alzheimer's disease at the beautiful age of ninety.
