He was too humble to share these things until I asked him including that he worked at a radio station during college and had his own radio call letters, that he worked on different important projects while working for the Defense Department while his travels took him from the Marshall Islands to Stuttgart, Germany while working for the Army as a communications engineer. It wasn't until he got sick, did I learn of all of the things he accomplished in his earlier life and all of the interesting and important jobs he had. My Dad taught me about working hard, whether it was at work or at home, about how to fix things and be independent, and to enjoy the simple things in life, like his love for folk music and just the beautiful scenery surrounding where he lived. My Dad wanted to make sure that we were safe and that he cared and I always felt so good knowing he was there. He always worried about our well being and safety whether it was when we went off to college, got our first apartment, or traveled with our job. He always liked to share a funny story or a joke and make us smile. He was a wonderful father to me and my sisters and caring grandfather to his 7 grandchildren. I am heartbroken writing this as I only can hope he knows how much I loved him and how much he's going to be missed.
