Description
Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you
This is a photo of my Dad, who passed away a year ago April 1st. My mom sent me a copy of this photo in a Christmas package this year, and well it was the greatest gift she could have sent since I have missed him so much.
Also in the photo is James Cash Penney who was the founder of the JC Penney's department stores which he began in 1912 in Kemmerer, Wyoming. My father worked as a store manager for the company for 38 years. The first store my dad started at was located in Los Angeles, so on occasion he got to meet different celebrities, and among a few others, I can remember him sharing stories about Bob Eubanks for those that don't remember he was the host of the original Newlywed game show, and he was close in age to my dad, and they shared the same first name, as well as funny and charming personalities, he became a regular customer there and would only go to my dad for help, or as my dad put it to harass him, lol. It was always fun to hear his stories. I had this scanned and I added the framing. Notice the old camera case towards the front of the photo, I wonder what type of camera they used to take this photograph with back then . By the way my dad is the tall one on the left. Amazing how quickly a year passes, Dad I miss you ~
Thanks for your comments to my last post...and a Happy Easter weekend to everyone.
You are in my thoughts for Melinda

How lovely to have this photo of your Dad and it is a great tribute to him. It is always hard to lose a parent, my thoughts are with you.
He looked like a big, strong and handsome man. Great work with the scan.
A great photo, and touching tribute, I'm very sorry for you my dear!
The fact that you have some really wonderful memories and stories about your dad and that you are sharing them with us, shows the deep love and respect that you have for the great man you call Dad. Thank you very much for sharing one of those memories with us today! He is smiling at you
I'm sorry to hear of your loss! You have created such a touching memory out of his photo. And you have shared it with all of us. Thank you and a Very Happy Easter to you!
That's why I love the photographs, the represent memories... Indeed, this was a really great gift for you, Lynell! Thanks for sharing it! Happy Easter!
MUY BUENA IMAGEN.
All the above, Lynell. Your dad was certainly a most handsome man, and I can understand your missing him. To emphasize their importance in life, photos are among the first things saved when having to evacuate a house during a brush fire. And, the old camera case looks pretty 21st century to me.
Very nostalgic!!! David
