Mountain Oak Vapors - Father's Day Contest!!

[Snus]

This will be the second Father's Day since my Dad passed... I still miss him a lot and think of him every day! He was a great man and had the best sense of humor! He was so handsome, he had women falling at his feet!

Thanks for another great contest, LeDean!

My Daddy really was an Officer and a Gentleman.

I never met my adopted fathers father BUT being from brooklyn they loved their meat, but he only ate it warm, thats right moo and all....my dad told me stories about how he would stalk the butch for the best cut and pay a dollar extra (which back then was a TON of money) to get it before others could.

My grandfather was a great musician! He mostly played the piano but he also wrote music, played in bands, taught students, etc. When I was little, he played Beatle's songs for me on the piano over and over and over again!

I can only hope it was "Here Comes the Sun."

Just spent time with my dad and uncles for fathers day. Good Times!

One time my dad got home from a dinner meeting with some vendors. He came home pretty wasted... needless to say my mom was extremely upset. That night my dad made a bet with one of my friends. My dad lost. My mom made him pay up even though he tried to back out saying he was drunk. He wasn't happy about it but did pay up.

Daddy loved to play chess and poker. He tried to teach me to play chess (I'm no good at it -- can only think defensively), and taught me to play blackjack/21 using poker chips instead of money!

 

[EleanorR]

He also loved his pipes. One of my favorite "photos" (it's actually an Ektachrome (sp?) slide) is of him and myself on the front porch of my childhood home: Daddy has just lit his pipe, and he is leaning over and holding the match for me to blow out (as I delightedly did!).

Of course, nowadays, doing that with a 4 year-old would probably bring Child Welfare Services to your house to bust up the family!

My Dad also loved Cowboy Movies (John Wayne, Clint Eastwood etc.) War Movies, and detective shows on television. I remember once he was hurrying in from work because he said "Husky and Starch" was coming on. (Starsky and Hutch)

 

[whodat2112]

When I used to mow the lawn he would tell me that I did a "half assed" job, and I would tell him, "well that's better than a whole assed job"

Really Like reading some of these "stories" about your Dad's (Biological. Adopted, Surrogates, Step-dad's, Uncle's and Granddad's) . . .

All Special each and everyone of them . . . NICE ! ! !

And after reading what everyone had to say about their Dad's I thought I would share also . . . I even wrote a whole long story here - but it was to personal so I delelted it . . .

Oh Well . . . Moving On . . . Maybe I tell you something Funny later . . .

 

[EleanorR]

Uncle, you're such a tease!

Hey all just wanted to drop in and say what's up. Didn't really have a dad growing up, but reading some of y'all didn't either. Maybe I can think of some stepdad stories to share...

 

[whodat2112]

My father was a wholesale meat salesman, so we ate really well.

 

[morri]

Daddy was my joy and I was his girl. I never really got to know my Mom until I was 21 and Daddy passed away. Then my Mom and I became best friends.

I never thought there would be so much happiness and pain here all at the same time....its been moving reading the stories. Sad for some, happy for some, glad for the memories this has brought back that I had forgotten and im glad everyone has shared such touching, funny, and personal moments. Pretty cool peeps round here
