My dad and I did not have very close relationship but I learned so much from him and his dedication to my mom. She was priority number one and he made sure she had all she needed. He took my brother and i in and told my mom he wanted to have relationship with us he did not have with his own kids. He lived his life on his own terms. Travelled all over the world. Made alot of money. You would never tell he was financially successful because he did not care about material items, He would rather do yard work than play golf. He always bragged about the $2 watch he found. The cheap pair tennis shoes. He had a million golf clubs all cheap. He did not care. He told me once did not matter what i did in life as long as i gave it 100%. I wish could play round of golf or even work on a yard project with him. Even though hated it would do anything for one more day.  Thanks for being my hero, love your son Steve
