Just wanted to wish my Dad a Happy Birthday! He would have been 105 this year, He passed away on Valentine's Day coming out of the florist with a rose in his hand for my Mom. Still have that damn rose pressed in the family bible. He was a Merchant Marine veteran of WW2 and was at Pearl Harbor when it got bombed. Two days later, he was walking down a street there and saw this Marine walking towards him, turned out to be his baby brother, Ralph. I still have the article that I found in the library records from the newspaper back then titled "Heres Brothers Safe in Hawaii'. He was one tough son of a #$%*. Taught me how to work hard. I could keep going on about him but I just wanted to vent a bit, Thanks for listening to my rambling Guys. I sure do miss him!!
