We also went down to our spot on the creek and shot at sticks and plastic eggs for practice.He had a lot of guns and I had my own.He used too lay them on his bed too admire and take pictures of them.
My dad used too make me into a sandwich using pillows and blankets. It was very fun and funny.
One time when we went camping in the Keys by the ocean he put a granola bar on his knee and a squirrel got on his knee and ate it! We went on trips a lot.
My dad had a lot of motorcycles(Triumphs).He had a whole room devoted to motorcycles. and two or three he actually drove alot not to mention a ton small motorcycle models. :)

He always threatened to run over peoples toes if they didn't get out of the way.(but he did not run over Lucky. He would wait for Lucky to move.)

Thanks for suggesting that.
support74, the memory book is a grand idea. I'm going to do that, thanks for the suggestion. What a beautiful tribute!
pamela, my father was a southern gentleman too.
Here's to you Dad. I love you and miss you.
From time to time people were not as nice to him as I thought they should have been yet I constantly saw him ignore that aspect in people and focus in on the fact that their shortcomings were not his, they were theirs. There were times when I wanted to step in, AS A CHILD, to speak my peace, but my dad always said "A CHILDS PLACE IS WHERE A CHILD SHOULD STAY". He would further say that if a person is bitter, miserable, and seems to always have vengence in their heart, then their children will become the same way.
Somehow along the way I'd forgotten those words, but I'm glad I came back to that place of tranquility and got back to being a good humanitarian so that my sons have a much nicer, understanding and wise role model.
Yep I learned a lot from my sourthern gentleman father.
