Stories & Stogies

You can never know your parents the. way that other people do.

I spent the last few months collecting stories about dad so that in a way we can still get to know him, laugh at him, & learn from him. Almost like he’s immortalized through storytelling, unearthed through conversation. ⁣⁣

You can find these stories in this private blog. There are still so many to share. I chose this medium so that we can continue to add to the archives.

⁣⁣Let us never stop smoking cigars & sharing stories about the man who lived a life worth talking about. ⁣

Love you guys very much. Merry Christmas.

It was one of our fun adult weekends in Clare.  We were all out on the lake, having a wonderful time with several of our friends.  I remember Jack & Lynn, Teri & Greg, Amy & Paul, Diane and I floating and having cocktails.  We floated up to the Ski Lodge and your dad came walking down the path with a tray full of mudslides, a cigar in his mouth and that grin of his that I’ll always remember.  I don’t remember much after that because that is what happened after a couple of randy mudslides.
