Description
I've been going through a ton of old negatives and scanning them to preserve the images.
I recently found some images of my dad. I've been thinking about him a lot today. I sure miss him.
The words were written by me, and were read by our minister at his services. Although I wrote them for my dad, I'm posting this as a Father's Day tribute to my dad, and all dads, both those still here and those who have gone on before us.
Thanks for dropping by, and for all your comments and support.

A very great and touching tribute !!!!!
What a beautiful tribute to your Father and dedication to all Dads. I hope he and my Dad bump into each other on the banks of the Heavenly Fishing Hole and cast a few lines, swap a few stories and catch (and release) a few fish.
Rod, I was greatly moved by this wonderful dedication you created for you're Dad. I can tell how much you loved and respected him and he most certainly would be proud of you today. This is a difficult time for my family as my Dad passed away 1 year from this coming Wednesday. We still greatly miss him each day.
Wow, this is great.
A wonderful image and beautiful words, Rod!
I'm glad you have fond memories of your dad. And I'm glad you have pics, too. Hugz
