My father’s birthday is today. If he were still alive he would be 100 years old. Wow. He was 58 when he had me, he was 22 years older than my Mother. He passed when I was only 21 and he suffered for years with Alzheimer’s. He was an actor, a stuntman and a clothes horse. He loved wearing suits and we would always get dressed up and go out to dinner on Saturday nights. Our favorite place was the Long Beach Yacht Club. He loved to sail and we always lived close to the ocean because of this. I miss him to this day. Ryan and the dogs and I are going to visit his grave. We are going to share his favorite snack with him of cheese and crackers and wine and end it with a Hershey chocolate bar. He grew up near Hershey, PA and adored candy. I definitely inherited that from him along with his love of wine. Cheers Dad!
