Dad
Dad liked to grow a big garden and share all the vegetables with his co workers, neighbors, friends and family. He was the expert that we all went to with questions when we started growing our own vegetables. He especially knew everything pertinent to growing tomatoes! If you needed tomato information, he was the wikipedia of tomato growing.
Dad was very giving and loved to go to yard sales to buy trinkets to give out to people. On the last trip to Reno for Aunt Louise's 80th birthday, he brought a large bag filled with all kinds of jewelry and insisted we go through it and pick out what we wanted!
Dad was a life long blood donor who gave over 20 gallons! He received a plaque in recognition of his donations over the years. He had to stop giving because he had to be placed on blood thinners.
Whenever I had a problem, he would be the first one I would call. He knew the answer to just about anything.
Dad had a great sense of humor and I miss that most of all!
Anyone who knew him loved him immediately! He never said a bad word about anyone, even people who may have deserved it. If he heard us saying something negative about others, he would shut it down by reminding us "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" Which usually made the room pretty quiet!!!
He is missed so much by so many. I would love it if people would share their stories here and pictures too if you have them.
