Remembering…



Today we celebrate the men in our lives that we have called “Father;” “Daddy;” “Dad;” “Pa-pa;” “Pop;“ “Godfather;” “Grandfather;” "Grandpa,” and the multitude of other names that are special to each individual – these are the men who have raised us up.


Others have said it much better than I…


“The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering-galleries, they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity.” - Jean Paul Richter


"He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” - Clarence Budington Kelland


"We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents." – Henry Ward Beecher


"Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance." - Ruth E. Renkel


"It's only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home—it's only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love." - Margaret Truman


"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty." -- Unknown


Happy Father’s Day gentlemen – this one’s for you!
