Dad

Dad is a very sentimental guy! although you might not think so. Some days I don't feel that way but for the most part , he is. I think he is probably the only one in his family that is alot this way. He takes after his mother. She was a very sentimental person as I remember. Never interfered in any of her children's lives and always when she spoke would put them in a good light. She was always willing to help others, even gave my sister Jean food from her grocery store to help her out when she was a single mom. I sure hope Jean payed her back but can't be so sure of that.
My sister Sarah who lived across the st. from her said there is not a sweeter lady than Joe's mother. I always remember that she told me that and know dad loved his mother very much!

Back to dad. He loves the History channel, War films, and Documentaries and listening to music that goes way back to the 1950 and 60's or there about. He also loves animals. Right now Maggie is his life! She sticks pretty close to him when he is busy in yard. And YES you might see a tear swell up in his eye when he is watching certain shows that have to do with children, animals, soldiers fighting for this country or this country at war or music that speaks of love and tenderness.
Here lately he has been listening to music from way back. A song called " When I grow to old to Dream" sung by Vera Lynn . This goes way back in war time, she sung for the troops. He will call me in to listen also. He REALLY does love music and must say has good taste in music except maybe Johnny Cash, ha. and some of that western stuff. ha! Going to write more of dad later. need a picture here. Oh, he also likes Joan or Jo Stafford. Will add more later of his favorite. mama
