Default Re: Fathers Day - June 15

Here is a pic. of me and my dad last year at my 25th wedding anniversary party.
He is the life of the party, loves to joke around and always with a smile.

I'm proud of my father an immigrant from a poor town in Italy,grew up on a farm with no running water or electric he came over in 1953 by boat at the age of 18 along with his parents.
He's always proud to say that the first thing he did when he came over to this country was to enroll
into night school to learn our language.

He became a citizen and a proud american, I never forget when I was a kid he was putting stickers of the American flag and the Italian flag on his car, he told me when you have two flags together you must always have the American flag first. Today he has a flag pole with a huge American flag and a small Italian flag below it.

He is a great dad to me and my 2 brothers, he worked allot but always found time to play ball or take us to the movies, circus, fairs.


He worked for the Long Island Railroad retiered after 30 years at the age of 52

Happy Fathers Day!!!
