	Fri, Oct 30, 98 Submitted by Leigh Stem as a tribute to Lowell. Dear Dad, You have always been there for me, from the very beginning. Unfortunately, I did not always recoginize what a precious gift that was. Not many people would take another child as their own. I have never felt any thing other than you are my dad. (I say that with a lot of pride) As I've gotten older, I've always wanted to thank you for answering the phone at two o'clock in the morning, and always having good advice. Yet it never seemed the right time, or I thought I was being too sentimental. Now that I have a child of my own, I wish I had told you this years sooner. I am SO lucky to have you as my dad and I hope you realize how much I love you. Everything I am is because of you and mom. So thank you for being there for me. Dovie is very lucky to have you as a Grandpa and WE LOVE YOU. All my love - Leigh P.S. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Kris as a tribute to Evan Sundby. I was born on Father's Day seventeen years ago today. I believe that was the beginning of the bond between my dad and I. My dad is a hard working, thoughtful, and forgiving man. He has always been there for me as well as the rest of my family. He doesn't know, but I always notive when he leaves things unsaid, or dismisses his own preference for the moment to please someone else. I love you dad, and wish you all the happiness in the world. I admire you for everything you've done, and overcome, and have an utmost admiration for becoming something that I realize you never had. I love you, Daddy. Happy Father's Day. Love, K.J.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Keith Smith as a tribute to Gordon Smith. In 450 B.C., Sophocles asked - “ What greater ornament to a son than a fathers glory, or to a father than a son’s honorable conduct?” My father taught me about honor - in all endeavors. He taught me that a person who is honored must first be a person who honors others. My father is an innovative and trusted leader who leads by example. He taught me that while it is good to hope, it is bad to depend upon it. That results depend upon deeds. My father continues to teach my brothers and I the importance of integrity, fair dealing, and credibilty. My father is an outstanding hunter, hilarious story teller, a visionary policeman, a loving grandfather, a fraternity brother, and a truly charitable philanthropist. It is my privlege to honor him with these words here, as I will endeavor to honor him throughout my lifetime with a “ Son’s honorable conduct.”
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Sandy as a tribute to To God Our Father.

	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Michael Krisfaluci jr. as a tribute to Michael Krisfaluci Sr.. I wanted to say Dad I love you. I always have, and I always will. I know the drift between us is so painful, and I only pray things will change. You are my Dad and I remember sharing alot of laughter and memories with you. I don't know what I could have done that would make you so distant. If loving someone is so Bad to you, then the drift will stay, but not because I don't LOVE you. My love for you is UNconditional. Happy Fathers Day, Dad. Love Michael and Sara

I would like to add onto Toby's message of dad and say that dad you're one "kicken dude" and I'm really grateful in that trip to D.C. that you weren't able to clock me when I scared Nicki in the tunnel in West Virgina!!! You rock dad!! Happy Fathers Day and remember to keep both hands on the weel and maybe we can get a better shot on mom next year if you have the flu!!! Take care dad! You're the best!

Dad,you may not realize it, but I look up to you in admiration.You strenght of character, and determination are just some of the qualities I love most about you.You have kept this family strong through thick and thin, and have managed to support us through everything. You'r effect on me as a person, is far greater than you will ever know.You have always been there for me, and supported everything I do. I'll never forget our talks at "The Waffle House", and the fact that you're always willing to type my papers for me. You are a very unique and gifted person, and dont ever forget that. I love you daddy, and I will always be your "little princess!" Happy Fathers Day!
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Toby Tremain-Nelson as a tribute to Stephen Tremain. My Dad, Steve is one of the most caring, giving, hardworking, honest, people on the face of this Earth. He has been through an incredible amount in his 56 years of life---the loss of his child at a young age, supporting a family of seven through a trucking strike---this at a time when Mom was a stay at home Mom. Dad always managed to provide for us all and give us nice birthdays, summer vacations and Christmas---oh, and lots of gas money for 'torkin' around!! I will never forget the trips to Mauston, WI that would often end with a visit to Dairy Queen for a dip cone (the five of us would sit in the back seat saying '' Shh, be good, be quiet, otherwise we won't get to go to DAIRY QUEEN!!!!") Or the whirlwind 7 day trip from WI to out East to Pennsylvania, DC and WV , among other various states!!, we took 2 cars---Mom and Dad communicated by CB radio---that trip almost ended their now 33 year marriage!! Dad has always provided for us ---even as adults he has always been there to help us move. Along with Mom he as welcomed me back into their home when I became a single parent, and gave me piece of mind by being there to care for my son so I could finish my last quarter of college. He has always been there for the five of us when we needed---anyone that knows him in the community of Waunakee, WI will tell you that Steve Tremain would give the shirt off his back to help ANYONE in need---he would, he really, really would. I'm so proud for so many reasons, to tell the world that he is my Dad!!
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Melissa as a tribute to Richard Watson. Growing up, I spent a lot of time in the shop. My dad was a mechanic and a truck driver, so when I would visit him at work, it was a world of grease and tools and machinery, rather than one of fax machines and phones. My belief of my father was, and still is one of limitless faith. My dad can do anything: fix it if it's broken, grease it if it's squeaky and build it if it needs to be built. Whenever I didn't know how to do something, I knew that if I called my dad, he could tell me how, and where to get all the parts. Best of all, though, my dad's abilities included not only mending broken bikes, but also broken hearts. He would always listen, and knew how to comfort me. All of this knowledge, though, came to me throughout the years of my growing up. I gained this faith in my dad through experiences and day to day life. Looking back, however, the crowning achievement of Richard Watson, to his 6 year old daughter, was the ability to blow up paper cups with his mouth. In all those greasy shops, there was usually an ever present water machine. Next to it was a stack of paper cups in a dispenser. The cups were small and tightly pleated and held a tiny amount of cold water. At the time, the coolest thing my dad could do was to place the cup to his mouth, suck in his breath to create a seal, and then blow. The whole cup would puff out into a small balloon, which not only looked way cooler, but held more water! Voila, my dad was a genius and a miracle worker. I never could do it, either because my face was too small, or I was lacking in breath. No matter, it became a cherished ritual, and something only my dad could do. It's a small thing I know. But it epitomizes my dad and the hidden wealth of fatherly knowledge he possesses. It's no surprise to me that at my wedding my father and I could not look at each other for fear of crying. It's also no surprise though, that what he thought of to keep from crying, were engines and cars. That's my dad, and that's why I love him.

	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Janis Lee Schofield as a tribute to William W. Schofield II. My dad is so special because everywhere he goes people like him. He has a smile that has a twinkle in his eye and it really lights up the room. My dad has never been one to show much emotion, but I remember the day of my graduation from high school and Dad had tears in his eyes. I have always wanted to make my dad proud, and I now know that he is, has been - yet is quiet about it. I love you dad very much - I hope today is a wonderful day for you. Love, Janis and your grandson, Mikey
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Jordan as a tribute to Donald. There's this one story that is brought up all of the time. I was apparently really young at the time and my father had taken me to get my hair cut or something like that. Me being still quite young didn't have full control over my bladder and had a little accident. When we got home, instead of handing me over to my mother to deal with the cituation, he "hosed" me down! Now, I ask you is that unconditional love or what?
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Bill Hegyi II as a tribute to Bill Hegyi. I never fully realized how great my dad is until I left him for college. Everything that I now do from my manners to my snense of humor I owe to him. He is my biggest hero, my best source of advice and one of my best friends. I will always love you Dad.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Kim Luallin as a tribute to John Abbott. It is my loss if I am so quick to improve on the parenting I received that I blind myself to all the sacrifices and displays of love I received. Just so you know that I know what you did...You took us to Washington D.C. - Four kids each with their own camera = 50 pictures of the Lincoln Memorial. You really put effort into giving us the ideal camping experience. You just had to deal with 3 girls removed from their bath and make-up. You showed us a total eclipse of the sun. You let us sing on the air of a radio station. You saved us from an escaped convict. You weren't too protective. You escorted me on my first day away at college to watch me participate in a pie eating contest (didn't hold on to those calories for long). You were at every important event of my life, from piano recitals, taking me to summer camp,graduations, etc. Although part of me wishes that you had accomplished something really incredible when you worked for NASA, that one of your inventions had really taken off, or that you were famous and rich for something; I think what's really important is that you were there, that you tried your best at the toughest job - being a parent. As a parent I now know that it's the job that pays the least, costs the most, requires all your energy, deals the most criticism, thanks the least, frustrates the most, and brings the most tears. With that said, it is undeniably obvious the incredible amount of love required to take on this job. Thank you Dad for taking the job offer of being my Dad and for hanging in there. For Mom to have passed away on this day seven years ago is so ironic. I know you took this job together, but you're left to see us through a little further. We all feel the incredible pain from Mom's death, but what I hate the most, is the pain she must feel at how separate we have all become since her death. We're sorry Mom! I hope you are receiving tons of happiness from your relationship with Rose, you deserve to be happy. Thank you for remembering your grandson's birthdays! I Love You! Happy Father's Day! KIM
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Amber Paxton as a tribute to Joe Boyd. Though my dad and I didn't get to spend much of my "growing up" time together, we have more than made up for it in the last 10 years. Dad was there for me when no one else was, and through all my mistakes remained supportive, loving, and uncritical. He may never know what that has meant to me. Dad, I love you. Thanks for everything you do, and for giving me the security of knowing there is someone who loves me always, no matter what.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Lynn and Adrienne as a tribute to Richard. Our dad has always had a great sense of humor, but he was a big disciplinarian. When we were young, we did well in school because we didn't want to get in trouble. But looking back now that we are older, we wanted to please him. This is a good thing. Some kids now-a-days don't care about pleasing their parents, but we did. Our own kids like to please us, its all out of love. We had a good up-bringing, we are lucky our dad was there for us.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Babs as a tribute to Philip F. Lynn. DAD, YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU INCREDIBLY :)
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Alex as a tribute to Eric. My dad's the best because he does so many cool things for me.He takes me to met games,movies and battleships that I get to sleep on and he builds me treehouses.My dad's the greatest. I hope I can be as good a dad as he is when I grow up
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Chrissy as a tribute to Tom. My dad has helped me get through every tough spot in my life. He has always been there and now my latest problem is that I am leaving him to go to University. I feel now that he needs me to hold his hand. I will miss you Daddy with all my heart and I will never forget the love you have flooded me with my whole life. Thank you for being my Guardian Angel and making a wonderful person out of me. I couldn't have done everything I have done without you. I Love You Daddy.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Sheila Voaklander as a tribute to Don Mulcahy. The Don of Juan de Fuca June 13, 1997 >From his armchair in Sooke B.C., my Dad sits and looks out at the most beautiful view in the whole world. He sees the Sooke Harbour and Whiffenspit, beyond that the Straits of Juan de Fuca and at night the sparkling lights of Port Angeles in the United States. He is an armchair traveller now due to arterial disease but just last September embarked on his second cruise. This last time he bravely set forth alone and went North to Alaska. He entertained his fellow shipmates by singing `The Big Bass Viol` which has been his trademark song for many years. A few years ago he went on his first cruise with my Mom Marge, and they sailed to the Islands of Hawaii. I remember many years ago the excitement of our camping trips to Miracle Beach, Parksville and Fields Pool in Nanaimo. In those days music was our entertainment as we travelled to our island campsite. We learned "Chatanooga-choo-choo" and belted it out from the back seat of our big black Nash Ambassador. We sang around the campfire and watched as Dad, Mom and our friends entertained us with skits and jokes. My Dad was always waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell a joke, often an Irish joke and always with exactly the right Irish brogue. He has never been to Ireland but it`s the land of his ancestors and his Irish green tie is always hanging neatly,waiting for the next March 17th. He stays indoors most often now but still the choice of an appropriate tie is most important to him. One day in April, when I was visiting, he asked me to choose a tie for him to wear and I chose a plaid handwoven tie of McDonald tartan. He told me then that he had gone as a young man to visit his Uncle in Ottawa and had bought the tie as a souvenier of his visit. One morning his Uncle invited him to lunch at the Parliament buildings and they had lunch with the Prime Minister, William Lyon McKenzie King. No wonder he remembers that tie! I wonder how many other stories his ties would tell. I wonder which he`ll choose this Father`s Day? I wish I could be there to help him choose! My Dad is the kindest 81 year old Dad in the world. My sisters Maureen, Teresa, and my brother Dave and I love him very much. Happy Father`s Day to the Don of Juan de Fuca...I`ll tell you how he came by that name next year, I promise!!!! Part 2 June 21, 1998 That's right - my father is "The Don of Juan de Fuca"! That's what we've called him for many years and once I asked him how he received that title. Almost a quarter of a century ago this is what happened. He had just retired and built the home of his dreams. The view was amazing - a panoramic vista with ever changing clouds above the Straits of Juan de Fuca, the mountains and forests of East Sooke, the Sooke harbour, with the fishing boats and freighters heading for Japan in the distance. That first summer Dad was at a community picnic and met a friend who introduced him to Earl - "The Earl of Sooke" his friend Milt laughed. He explained that he himself had been known for quite some time to the locals as "The Duke of Sooke". My father, Don, replied, "Well I believe I outrank you both, since I'm The Don of Juan de Fuca and everyone knows the Spanish were here before the British!" My Dad is such a special man. He is a gentle man, a kind and caring man. He has lived a simple life without the riches a man with such a title might have. The riches in his life have been the respect he gives to the people he meets, the ability to weather all of life's trials with little complaint, his love of music and laughter, his loyalty to his friends and the love he has for his family and his beautiful cat, Boots. We are blessed to have a Dad and Grandfather like ours and wish him comfort and freedom from the pain he has endured in his illness. We send him our love... love from all his children and his whole family to the man we all respect and admire. Your daughter, Sheila
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Eileen Manglass as a tribute to Herbert Congram. I was blessed with a good family growing up, and have always felt grateful to have had loving, supportive parents; but I don't think I ever really comprehended parental love until I had my own children! Children have inexhaustible needs, ask enless questions over and over again, and make incredible demands on a parent's time and patience. My husband and I feel like babbling idiots have the time, and ready to walk off the job-site the other half. And we only have two kids! My father raised six kids, in very difficult times, and managed to make it look like a cake-walk. I don't think I ever heard him complain, and he never gave up trying to give us support, teach us enduring values, or remind us of the virtue of clean hands! Thank you dad for being so graceful, for making the impossible look so easy, and for loving me so consistently over the years. Eileen
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by JILL BROWN as a tribute to DAN. I LOVE YOU, DAD. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN COMMON: GARDENING, BASEBALL, THE COUNTRY, WORK (YUCK!). THESE THINGS HAVE ALLOWED US TO GROW CLOSER ALL THESE YEARS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME. YOU ARE THE MOST WONDERFUL DAD ANY DAUGHTER COULD EVER ASK FOR. THANK YOU. JILL
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Patti Sosa as a tribute to Joe Sosa. I love you very much, Dad. And not a day goes by that you are not somehow in my thoughts. I love you ever since I can remember. And I love you for so many reasons it's kind of hard to know where to start. You're always there for me when I need you. You taught me how to be a responsible, kind, friendly, honest, grateful, independent, orderly, giving, hard-working, trustworthy, respectful, caring, compassionate, and most of all, happy person -just through your example. You showed me about the importance of talking to God every morning just by watching you serenely in prayer. And you've always listened to me: my plans, my frustrations, my comings & goings, everything. I thank my heavenly Father every day for having given me YOU! And I especially thank Him for these last two years that we've been even closer. God bless & keep you always, Dad. Your rare gem, Patti
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Irene Sin as a tribute to Sin Choi. I always think my father is a very hard working man. My father worked as a coolie until at his 68 years of age. Everytime he got back home he was tired but he always helped my mum to do the household chores. Now all of my sisters and brother have grown up and today this is a good chance to say "Happy Father's Day" to our Daddy, the most respectful one.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Pamella Jackson as a tribute to Lestin Jackson. My father is now 71 years old, and is still very much 'Daddy' to me. What I think of most when I think of Daddy is his utter devotion to his family. Not in the romantic way you read about in books, but in the real everyday little things that drive people crazy -- that drive ME crazy. Daddy is UTTERLY reliable. You want something done, it will get done. His promises mean guarantees. He has been a wonderful father, and has given me a love of God. Happy Father's Day to all fathers. You are appreciated. Daddy, I love you.
	Sun, Jun 21, 98 Submitted by Ana Marcelo as a tribute to Roger Marcelo. Dad, There is so much that I am grateful for in my life, but most of all, I thank God every day for blessing me with a wonderful family. I can't say it enough, but Dad, you have done so much for Monch & me that we can never thank you enough. If life situations ever get me down, or if ever I start querying myself, I need only think of my happy childhood memories, & I know who I am....I come from one of the best families in the world, all because of you & Mum. You have made me the person I am today, & I can only pray that I will be as loving a parent, as you & Mum have been towards Monch & I since Day One. You have given us UNCONDITIONAL love, to which we can never return. THANKYOU, & God Bless You Always, for being our Dad. Love you always.
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Jim Duke as a tribute to Chester Duke. Dad, Thank you for all the years you prayed for me as I was doing drugs and getting in so much trouble with the Police. You never gave up on me and your love for me continued even when I became violent. Dad, I remember when I was at the very bottom of my life, you were there to share with me the good news of Jesus Christ,never realizing at that time I would become a Pastor and have the honor to baptize you. Dad, I am sorry for all the grief I gave you those years of my youth and there is so much I want to give back to you. You have all the love of God in your life and that is the greatest thing there is as you know and I can't top your relationship with Christ , nor would I desire to do so!Dad, You are wonderful, a true gift from God to me and my family to love. Thank you Dad for everything and never giving up.Your grateful son, Jim
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Alyson Plotsky as a tribute to Paul Plotsky. To Moj Tata: I just wanted to wish you a happy fathers and let you know that I am thinking of you. Have a great day, not only today, but EVERY DAY! Remember to relax and enjoy yourself. You have always been such a great Dad - everything from "The fat tan cat" to Emory & Elizabeth shows, you have always been there and have been supportive. I love you! Love Alyson
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Karen England as a tribute to Bill England. Dear Dad, I know we don't get to see each other very often and that we are very different people living different lives. I also know God chose you to be my dad because He had the best in mind for me. It is a blessing to just know you are there and you care. I hope in the next few years we only move closer to each other even while the miles between us get greater. I love you and am glad you're my dad! Happy Father's Day! Love, Karen
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Jennifer Roach as a tribute to Wayne Roach. Dad, It doesn't really take a special day like "Father's Day" to make me think about how wonderful you are. You have always been so supportive of everything I've ever done or tried to do. I can't count the times, while growing up I heard you tell other people, "Jennifer did this.. or Jennifer did that... or Jennifer can do anything she sets her mind to. I know at the time that it made me feel very special and important to hear you talk about me like that, but little did I know how much those things would benefit me in my adult life. Because you see Dad, even though we don't see each other everyday, I still hear those words of support from you, ringing in my head, and I know I can deal with whatever I'm up against because of your continuous love and support. Thank you for teaching me right from wrong, for letting me be the individual that I am, and for making me feel like I am the most important person in the world when we're together. Thank you for taking me fishing, and letting me play all the sports I enjoyed, and for always just understanding me. Thank you for your patience as I was growing up and for letting me have cats and dogs to play with. Thank you for showing me what commitment to someone means and thank you for going to so many of my ballgames (homeruns were much more meaningful when you were there to see them). Thanks for taking so many pictures of our childhood, because it will always be around to watch, when I feel like reminiscing (and thanks for making my childhood so completely happy). I appreciate the compassion you've always shown to others and for teaching me the fine art of "tactfulness". Thanks for instilling a good work ethic in me, and thanks for giving me a big brother. Thanks for all the $20 bills you've handed me over the years, for my ole' blue Pontiac, and for the countless other material things I never did without. Dad, I could go on and on. You are a truly wonderful father and I hope you know you mean the world to me, now, and always. Happy Father's Day I love you, Jennifer
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Olivia Bellis as a tribute to Phil {Dad}. Dear dad, Your the best dad in the world! You open up my heart. You always make me laugh, you tickle me and I always feel compferted when your around! Thank you for everything you have ever givin me expeccally your love. I could thank you a billion times and that would not be enough. You are a great dad in many ways! You are also the best dad I've ever had, well, you really are the only dad I have ever had. Oh well your the BEST! Sincerely Olivia
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Becky as a tribute to MIKE RADOSEVICH. DAD, I LOVE OUR CHATS ON THE PHONE. SINCE I HAVE MARRIED, YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME. OUR CONVERSATIONS GO FROM ONE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER, AND STILL WE HAVE REMAINED FRIENDS. I LOVE YOU FOR THAT. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. BUG.
	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Lisa Nowell as a tribute to John Reid. I am left handed, and a true klutz, and one of my fondest memories of my dad was when he spent and Entire summer teaching me how to play catch. And I mean it really took him all summer. The love and patience he showed me is really rare, and he also taught me perserverance. I love my dad more than I can ever say. We're all very lucky to have him around.

	Sat, Jun 20, 98 Submitted by Lacey as a tribute to Jim. Dad, We have so many special memories together I could never name them all. You are the greatest Dad in the world. You have always been there for me through thick and thin. You always accepted me for who I am and always let me make my own decisions no matter if they were good or bad. I always learned from my mistakes and you always held my hand through it all. You have brought me up knowing Jesus Christ and that is one of the greatest things you ever could have done. I would like to thank you for standing by me through everything. I would also like to thank you for bringing me up as an individual, knowing right from wrong, and choosing my friends by who they are and not by how they look, how they live, or what other people think of them.

I have wonderful childhood memories that I will always remember...summer vacations - fishing, river rafting, water parks, go-karts, campouts - camp fires (Mom sitting around the fire late at night laughing loudly with the others), roasting marshmallows, motorcylce riding, riding with Phil in your truck as he did donuts on the dry lake bed (sorry Boy), riding Haley (almost leaving me at the stables-hee hee), learning to drive your truck, and so many more. You didn't just do these things with us. You did them with love, encouragement, and inspiration. I'm proud to say, as Mom always says, "You're just like your father." I love you Dad, and I am very thankful for you. Happy Father's Day! "Chickie"

Happy Fathers Day dad.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Wendy Cuccinello as a tribute to Robert Joseph Cuccinello. My father has brought me so much joy in my life. My first memories of childhood are in Stamford CT where we lived until I was six years old. When my mother went back to work I was in morning nursery school and afternoon kindergarten. Dad used to meet me (when I was 5) at nursery school and he knew that he could find me away from the other "hooligan children" and in a corner of the nursery school where there was a cage with two bunnies in it. Every day he would look for me there. On sunny days he would open both doors to the VW Beetle and push the front seats forward. We would sit side by side in the back seat and eat our lunch together...I'd have my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and he'd eat his sandwich right by my side. Then he would bring me to kindergarten for the afternoon. My father is one of my best friends...I danced with my feet on his shoes as a child, and now that I'm grown up his arms are still open to me whenever I need a good laugh or a good cry. I love my father dearly and I wish him the happiest of father's days...I love you Dad. All my love, from your "Monkey-Doodle"...
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Dan Sajtar as a tribute to Joseph Nicholas Sajtar. It is very hard to put into words exactly how much of an effect you had on everyone you came in contact with. I am just so vary fortunate that I was able to be one of three to call you "Dad". There were the times you hid the cookies in the tree and told us someone had left them for us, carrying us on your shoulders we felt like no one could hurt us, standing out in the yard on a cold Michigan winter night with a hose and shovel forming out a skating rink for our own. Helping with church and school projects and always putting your family first. I truly hope that someday the morals and values that you tried to instill in me will be reflected in my children as a tribute to the great job that you did while you were here on earth with us. And I hope that, now, while you spend your first Father's Day with the "true" Father, that you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the time we had with you. Thanks Dad, I love you.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Seth Ambler as a tribute to Gus Ambler. Some of my earliest memories of you was when you dressed up as Count Dracula on Halloween and went around the neighborhood with us scaring the other trick-or-treating kids. That werewolf howl of yours is pretty penetrating too. Remember the Swedish chef impersonations? Thanks for all that you do and have done. Teaching me to swim (basically not letting me drown), being there when I would fall from my bicycle, supporting me when I make stupid decisions, listening to all my bantering , fireside chats (the chair is still a wonderful invention), more support for stupid decisions, six-packs of beer, and being a golf buddy when no one else will be. Just promise me that you won't get par before me. Love you Dad!
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Chris Williams as a tribute to Carl Williams. To a loving, caring, sharing, fun to do stuff with dad who spoiled me more than my sisters. Who could ask for more? HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Samantha Malpass as a tribute to Jason Malpass. Not many fathers would take their daughters to Star Wars at the age of two, but mine did. Now Star Wars is my favorite movie, and my favorite memory. We both love you daddy! I'm happy we all live at the orange house now.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Mickeyshell Jones as a tribute to Carl Williams. I was too young to remember this kind gesture, but I believe it's true because it is the type of thing my dad would do. It represents how he is -- always thinking of his family and others before himself, even though sometimes we don't deserve it. We sure didn't have much money to buy things back then, yet Dad knew we would love to go sledding that winter. He bought us a sled with money that was suppose to help cover the bills. I'm sure we had a blast, as we usually do when we have family outings -- even today. He didn't know how he was going to pay those bills, but like I said, that's my dad -- always putting others' needs first. Another example, is when he helped another family's daughter that encountered a flat tire and they didn't have money at the time to get it repaired. Dad took care of their problem and that family later mailed him a reimbursement check. He knew they couldn't really afford it, so to this day, he's never cashed that check. He never told anybody about it either. I just happened to find the check and noticed the date and asked him why he never cashed it. Thanks Dad -- you're the best!!

	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Leila Keen as a tribute to Robert Keen. I have felt lucky to have Robert Keen as my father all my life. Not only is he my father, but is also a role model and friend.

	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Kayla Rowe as a tribute to Damien Rowe. I am still little, I am only four years old but already we have shared so much and we have so many years of memorys left to share. To me Daddy you are the best hugger, and I love it when you give me kisses goodnight or kisses and huggles when I get a bo-bo, but most of all I love it when you read me my bed time stories or sing me sunshine when I am upset or tired. This is just a few things about you Dad that I love. Love Piglet
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Kristie Kahn as a tribute to John Kahn Jr.. My father to me will always be my hero. Growing up as an only child, I was very close to him. We use to everything together. Once I started to get older and wanted to be with my friends instead of going places with him, he was realizing that his "little girl" was growing up and let me have my freedom. I had a child at 17 and he was there for me from day one helping me along. He has always been here for me and pushed me forward when I did not think that I could do any more. He understood my pain and tried to help me with my problems when everyone else did not know what to say. He has been my shoulder to cry on and my ear to listen. He is the best father that anyone could ask for. When he realized that I was growing up and was getting more independent, he made the comment that he was losing his little girl, but one thing is for sure that no matter how old I get, I will always be "Daddy's little girl". I love you Dad!!!!
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Amy Lynette Todd as a tribute to Kelly Alvin Todd. From the battles to the bonding, there has never been a doubt as to the love we share. Working with you has been such a learning experience and I thank you for continuing to support me as I mature. Hard work and dedication are qualities I have learned primarily through your example. Ideals through which you were always able to provide for our family. I love you always, even when you're "Nerd-like!!"
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Catriona Ing (Matheson) as a tribute to John Matheson. I have many memories of happy times with my dad as a child, but nothing as special as the memories I have of more recent years. As I've grown older we've grown far closer and I just wanted to let him know that I love him very much and think he's a great dad. I also want to thank him for not killing me as a child due to the trouble I caused him and my mum, and allowing me to grow into an adult who can now appreciate the things he tried (unfortunately in vain most of the time) to explain to me as a child. Thanks Dad!
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Baan as a tribute to Baha . This tributes goes to the man that would do anything for his family. My father has taught me to be a strong and independent women, he believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself. Today as I travel around the word he constantly remind me of how proud he is of the person I turned out to be. Thank you for everything Dad. I love you.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Catriona Ing as a tribute to Michael Ing. Mike is the best father his two sons could ever hope for... Their mother left them at the ages of 6 & 8 and he helped them come through the difficulties that a trauma like that entails. He is a loving, 'best-friend' kind of dad and has a wonderful relationship with them. He's also helped me to have and enjoy their love, too. Although I'm their step-mother I know I'll never quite have the same bond with them as they have with their dad, but I just wanted to thank him on their behalf, and from myself, for making them the two wonderful boys they are now, aged 14 & 16, and to thank him for sharing the results of his hard and sometimes difficult job as a father with me. We all love him very, very much.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Randall Dellwo as a tribute to Larry Dellwo. MY FATHER HAD MANY SAYINGS. "CLEAN YOUR ROOM."; "WORK BEFORE PLAY."; "WHEN I WAS A KID..."; "WHEN YOU GROW UP I HOPE YOU HAVE KIDS JUST LIKE YOU.", WERE HIS FAVORITE THINGS TO SAY. AND WE LIVED BY THOSE SAYINGS. HE MADE SURE THAT MY BROTHER AND I KNEW WHEN WE WERE DOING WRONG. BUT HE ALSO MADE SURE TO TELL US WHEN HE WAS PROUD OF SOMETHING WE HAD DONE. FATHER NEVER GAVE UP. HE WAS A VERY SIMPLE MAN THAT LED A VERY SIMPLE LIFE. HE WAS A PROVIDER. I DON'T THINK "VACATION" WAS IN HIS VOCABULARY. BUT I KNOW "OVERTIME" WAS. HE TAUGHT ME THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR. GROWING UP, YOU NEVER REALLY THINK YOUR FATHER IS RIGHT. YOU ALWAYS WANT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. MY FATHER ONCE TOLD ME,"WHEN YOU GROW UP, I WANT YOU TO COME TO ME AND APOLOGIZE FOR ALWAYS TRYING TO CHALLENGE MY AUTHORITY." DAD, I KNOW THAT I AM ONLY 20 AND HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR, BUT YOU WERE RIGHT. DAD, I THINK I AM GOING TO MAKE IT AFTER ALL. AND DAD? I FINALLY DID IT. I CLEANED MY ROOM. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE TO SET ME STRAIGHT.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Kristina Pleasant as a tribute to Richard Pleasant. My dad and I did not always get along, I was never sure he loved me. But as my high school graduation neared something changed and we were having fun the way I always wanted to. All before graduation no one had made me cry until the morning of, when my daddy gave me a card and and in it he wrote how he felt. That made me cry. I knew he loved me. And that is probably my favorite memory of my daddy.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Frank A. Magnani as a tribute to Louis F. Magnani. My father was the "best of the best" when it came to Dads. A dedicated husband, father, and family man--my father smiled even when confronted with his own mortality. On this Father's Day, I wish my Dad a "heavenly day". My gift to my father this Father's Day will be the birth of my son in July to carry forward the family name. To the son's and daughter's of Father's who have gone to a better place, I offer the following prayer: When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears, and hug your sorrow to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile; and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer, and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; and never, never be afraid to die, for I am waiting for you in the sky! Happy Father's Day, I miss you!!! Love always, Frank
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Anissa P. Bunch as a tribute to James E. Bunch. The best memory I have to share about my father is simple, he was always and will forever be there for all five of his children and now caring for his four grandchildren. No matter what others say, my father, James E. Bunch is "Father of the Year" and many more to come. We love Daddy. Happy Father's Day.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Lea (Carter) Bishop as a tribute to Russell Carter, Sr.. I never realized until I became an adult with a family of my own, just how special my Dad was. The sacrifices he made for the eight children he had and the overwelming hardships and losses he had to overcome fill me with such a deep respect and pride. I love you Dad, you have always been my hero. From Daugher #4.

	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Tom Luffman, Jr as a tribute to Tom Luffman, Sr. My dad is the greatest. He has really set a wonderful example to me of what a man and a father are supposed to be. Now I have a child and I'm a single parent and I draw on his example daily. With out his great example who's to say that I would not have ended up like so many other guys not taking responsibility for their children. I not only have taken responsibility I have full custody and I attribute all my good characteristics to my father. Happy Father's day dad.
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Carol Porter as a tribute to Archie Porter. I remember my dad used to play all these cool records from his vintage collection including The Supremes, Brook Benton, Moms Mabley. There's this one song that sticks out in my mind, "Rainy Night In Georgia". I don't remember who sang it, but I remember the guy's deep voice. Great song!
	Fri, Jun 19, 98 Submitted by Karen Williams as a tribute to Dell Hudson. Dell, may be my Step-Dad but he is the best thing that has happened to our family. He has made Mom the happiest lady in the world and has acceoted us all as his own. Dell you came into my life after I thought I was grown and knew all that I needed to know in life. Boy was I wrong!!! You taught me what love should really be like. For this I thank you, for if it was for this lesson I would have never meet Mike. You opened your home to me and the kids when we had no where else to turn. Dell thanks for being the Dad I always wanted and looked for. Dell thanks for being a REAL Dad to me. I love you more than words can say.

Regardless, I was so lucky to have you as a father, to have the good fortune to have known such a generous and life- loving person. I am proud to have had you for a Father, but even more glad to have had you as my Dad. You came to this country to escape the horrors of WWII and follow your dreams and I hope you have truly found Heaven. Thanks for everything you have taught me (both good and bad). I love you Dad and I miss you terribly

	Thu, Jun 18, 98 Submitted by Georgia as a tribute to Peter. I love my sweet papa so much. Why? Because he makes me breakfast every morning, takes me to shaved ice when I'm feeling down, listens to my poetry and tells me it's beautiful, builds me desks and shelves and beds, is linesman at my soccer games when there aren't enough refs, takes me everwhere with him, sings to me, play the occorin, guitar, clarinet, violin, and banjo for me, and tells me he love me. Or maybe it's just that huggable belly of his.
	Thu, Jun 18, 98 Submitted by Richard as a tribute to Richard Sr.. I often tell you I love you, but rarely do I express how much I appreciate you. You continue to be an inspiration and role model. Television heroes pale in comparison...

	Thu, Jun 18, 98 Submitted by Danielle as a tribute to Joseph. There is not one specific memory that I remember as being the greatest.

	Tue, Jun 16, 98 Submitted by Jan as a tribute to Howard. It wasn't any one BIG thing that made Dad special. Rather, it was a lot of little things over the years. Pop could do just about anything he made up his mind he was going to do. He LIVED the saying "Just do it" before it ever became a slogan. He was a "Full speed ahead and damm the torpedoes!" kind of guy. Nothing could make him quit once he got started. He was fond of saying, "The Lord will provide--provided I work like the Devil." And work like the Devil he did, until the job was done. He was known around where we lived as "The workinest one man around", and he was proud of that. He set me many good examples of how to deal with adversity. He never preached. He just put his hands, heart, and mind to work, and overcame whatever problem had cropped up. Many times I have gotten myself out of sticky situations by thinking, "What would Pop do?" and then doing it. Dad passed away ten years ago. I still miss him, and I still love him.
	Tue, Jun 16, 98 Submitted by Julie Cottrell as a tribute to Donald Duke. What makes my dad so special probably apply's to many, although that does not make it any less special. He came home from work every night for all the years I was growing up. He worked hard and brought home any money earned to provide for the needs of the family. He was there and he told us that he loved us. Now that he is 70 and I am older myself I want him to know I appreciated every day of his life that was given in unselfishness to his family. He is the best!

	Tue, Jun 16, 98 Submitted by mike as a tribute to Ray. Since I was young, my father has taught me to work hard, not to quit, commit to things you care about. Both my parents have given me the work ethic and inspiration to acheive whatever i put my mind too, for that I can never repay. I think the fondest memory of my father was during my junior and Senior year of my wrestling season, when he went to every match and canceled a lot of his buisness trip just to see his son wrestle no matter the outcome. All I can say is thank you.
	Tue, Jun 16, 98 Submitted by Keith as a tribute to Robert. What I learned from my father, a lawyer, was a deep respect for people, my fellow man. He treated his clients with respect and provided them the service they needed, no matter what their race or ability to pay. He was a legal aid lawyer so most of his clients hadn't the money to pay for their services. He always treated each man and woman with respect calling them "sir" or "madam". I've never forgotten that life lesson in providing mental health services to the poor. I'm very proud of my father and thank him for so many life-lessons. I hope I'm a lot like my Dad.

	Tue, Jun 16, 98 Submitted by Trisha Clark as a tribute to Jim Franklin. My father passed away unexpectedly this February at the age of 53. I know this will be a very hard fathers day for me, my brother and sister because our dad was just the best for us. He would take us fishing and not make me and Angie bait the hook. I always appreciated that. Next time, I do go fishing, I promise to bait my hook myself, in your honor. I love you, Dad.

	Fri, Jun 12, 98 Submitted by Kaye Burton as a tribute to Bill Burton. The greatest Dad, because he is the greatest husband. Fathered three beautiful girls, and was always there for them. Now that they are all married, they pride themselves on marrying boys/men who remind them of their own father. He set the example. However, they don't quite make them like him anymore. He's the best!!!!

	Sat, Jun 6, 98 Submitted by James as a tribute to Terry. I remember going crystal hunting with my dad. We drove out to the secluded dirt road. I remember how neat the sun looked shining down through the trees. There was a little mound of clay on the road that we dug through in search of little treasures. I still have the big shard I found that day. Thanks for taking me places.
	Sat, Jun 6, 98 Submitted by Dina as a tribute to Hal. When I was younger my dad spent a lot of time making Christmas special for me and my sisters. He would spend hours creating oddly-shaped boxes so we would not be able to guess what was in them. Or he would get HUGE boxes, fill them with shredded paper and bury crisp one-dollar bills throughout for us to find.. or slip new dollar bills inside the pages of a phonebook. One Christmas he had a wall of packages each with a number from 1 to 4. He had each of us draw a number from a can and those were the gifts we opened. To our suprise each of us opened gifts that were just what we had asked for. (He had rigged the drawing without us knowing it.) I think back now at the amount of time and effort that must have taken him and know it was a true labor of love. Happy Father's Day Dad!
