Dad died 5 years ago right around Christmas.

Alzheimers.

For close to a year he thought I was someone he used to work with.

That sucked a ton.

Here's to our folks and what they showed us.

BTW, Dante's shop was located directly next to the place that taught me how to drive a car. Remember that Lister? Those that decided to ignore the RRHS drivers ed (hand in the air) went to that "school" and were instructed to just kind of get by.

Still can't drive stick. Bastards.

Possibly the greatest post this board, in all its forms, has ever seen.

Beanpot

Yeah, the fact he mentioned Rocky River bumped it to the top, but I would have said nearly the same thing if he told the tale while using an inferior city as a background

Good for you lister. You have the right attitude. I lost my dad suddenly. No goodbyes. 7 years later it still hurts a lot. Never take him for granted.

My dad was also a Korean war vet, by the way.
