| Happy Birthday Dad! My father was born on Feb. 23, 1926 and would have been 92 years old today. But he passed away July 4, 2014, almost 4 years ago. It's sad that life is so temporary. But I can celebrate him. He taught me many things. To ride a bike, drive a car, fix things, use tools. He taught me fidelity, not to drink, not to waste money. I'm a Yankee and New York Giant fan because of him. He taught me that you open a screw counter-clockwise. He showed me how he would like to help sick people, save money. I remember visiting at the store he worked at Willougby's Camera Store. A young black women said to me "Your father's a dirty old man." He worked at the same place for 47 years as a salesman of camera accessories. He didn't like his boss "Kenny Schlatet." He didn't take care of his health. He had diabetes for a long time and his blood sugar was never under control. When I was a kid he would take us to the dentist on his day off which was Monday. We would go to the beach every weekend. Usually Orchard beach in the Bronx, Lake Welch or Lake Sabago, in NY. George, we miss you. Hope your in a better place. He had red hair like his mom. People would call him "Red." He seemed happy. |
