Remembering Dad Today

I seem very drawn to my Dad today, on this Father's Day.  Thoughts of him are flooding my memory.  Such a hard working man, always taking courses to better himself and advance in his work.  Loved to plan special family vacations and special holiday meals. Loved his children so much and was very proud of us.

Here are a few old, old pictures:

About 1940 - age 18

1947 at Grannie's House in Victoria.  Mom and Dad and me

February, 1955 - Mom and Dad with their four children

probably 1960

He died much too young at the age of 56 while on vacation in New Zealand.
