Aloha! I thought I would share one of my favorite photos. At the time he had cancer and wanted to see Hawaii, as he knew the end was near. He passed away the following Spring.

He was only 36, but he left us with some great memories. He listened to Sinatra, Elvis, Baxter, and Denny. Loved Sci-Fi & Horror movies and would take us to the drive-in, Disneyland, Knotts, Marineland, Pacific Ocean Park and camping. He built a bar in the den (not tiki, had paneling and a wood shake overhang.....I'll have to find pix of that, and the ones of their Mickee & Minnie Mouse paper-mache heads & costumes). Mom had her Toby mug collection on shelves. Dad was a sales rep for the aerospace industry and liked to go to the L.A. nightclubs, Brown Derby, Trader Vic's, The Islander, and ......

The Moulan Rouge.

A Happy Father's Day to all the Father's that are with us and those that are still with us in our memories and pictures.
