Happy Birthday....

((a picture of my dad while stationed in Germany in the 60's))

69 years ago today, a man of great importance in my life was born. My father, he helped shape me into what I am today

today would have been his 69th birthday if he hadn't passed away in september of 2008 of a heart attack/cancer.

I wonder what his take on the politico scene, though I know today he'd put that aside and watch the big game.

I miss you Dad
Rest in Peace

we'll try to get out to dixon to put flowers on your grave...
