Here are some old pictures that I'm glad we have....
I was talking to my mom this afternoon and she said that he always helped her not only see the best in everything, but the funny in everything.
What a treasure he was.
(He died three and a half years ago.)
He was a "Micah 6:8 Man" for sure....
Micah 6:8
“He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.”
Happy Birthday, DADDY!

You have great genetics! Your papa looks so young in his military picture! Love them!
What a kind man he was! I am glad I got to know him. And sing "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" with him (and you, Laura, and my mom) in the horse-drawn carriage at White Haven. What a wonderful weekend!
Sara and Julia, those comments are WONDERFUL.
Thank you!!!
Nancy, he is very handsome too! His eyes are kind and friendly.
Thanks, Maria. I think his eyes were kind and friendly, too.... because HE was kind and friendly.
(Thanks for noticing.)
Beautiful post, Nancy. I always thought you looked so much like your mother, until I saw these photos -- now I'm not so sure. You look an awful lot like your daddy too. I think I would have liked to know him.
Nancy, the picture of your father as a child looks like Andrew!!!!!
I think you're right, Alice!
