Daddy's Birthday in Heaven 2026
Today is my dad's birthday.
He passed on December 4, 2001 and went down very hard.
My dad was a straight shooting no nonsense kind of guy who didn't put a lot of store in practical jokes or the trivial drivel of gossip.
After his protracted and failed treatment we have been without him a very long time now.
His passing was the most difficult episode in my life.
He was a Master Chief Nuke Machinist Mate and mechanical supervisor at Westinghouse NFD in his retirement from the Navy.
He was born January 29, 1932 and died from the sequela of smoking.
Rest in peace Daddy.
