Today, to honor my father, I recall with a smile and a tear:

-him blaring and sharing calypso, Perry Como and Mario Lanza

-championing my burgeoning creativity by proudly displaying my 1st grade artwork

-dancing with me at the debutante ball, leery of my clunky, white platform shoes

-gliding through the waters of Magens Bay, St. Thomas and Trunk Bay, St. John

-cooking breakfast for us every weekday and dinner on Sundays

-ordering wine on our family vacations

-reviewing construction drawings in his office or on the dining room table

-wielding the umpteen tools in his overflowing tool cabinet

-encouraging me to hurdle life's speed bumps

-being in awe of his strong hands

-watching alongside him the Indy 500, boxing matches, "Wild Kingdom" and "Wide World of Sports"

-feeling the warmth of his ready, robust laughter

-rereading his handwritten letters that all ended “Your loving father,”
