   Remembering Dad     May 9, 2023-March 2, 1977

Forty nine years ago today my beloved Father passed away in the wee hours of the morning just as the new day began. It seems impossible that so many years have passed so quickly, nearly half a century!  Not a day goes by that I don't think of him in some way and at this time of the year, for all these decades, it's especially hard to realize how much I've missed not having him in my life, and harder still knowing how much of life he missed out on.     

Dad survived the horrors of WWII, the Depression, and a troubled marriage only to have his life cut short.  I miss you dad, and pray one day we'll be together again.                                       

                The above photos were taken aboard the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, on our way to Rehobeth Beach, Delaware where dad had customers to see.  My sister likely took the photo as she was with us that day.   This was always an especially fun time as I got to see the ocean and have a great lunch out with my dad who knew all the best places to eat!   Here we are with dad's big black Lincoln, a car he dearly loved until he finally got the Caddy he wanted a few years later.
