Today is my Dad's Birthday, he would have been 89. He was a doctor. His father was a pharmacist. His son is a doctor. His wife was a nurse. His daughters and aunts were teachers, writers and artists. He was an only child but had so many friends and patients.
He worked numerous hours always helping others whenever they were in need. He played golf on Wednesdays and Saturdays and travelled with his family whenever time allowed. He also loved boating and fishing. He was president of his senior class at the Academy and played hockey and baseball there.
He had many dates and invented the fifty cent corner, where you pay the taxi driver fifty cents for taking the corner in a way that gets you closer to your date. He attended Ivy League and medical school and did his internship in the midwest. But he returned home to practice medicine and take care of his parents and family. We learned so much from him by what he did. He listened more than he spoke..

I miss him more than I can say because he left this life in a quiet way.
The grandchildren called him Papa..he was so happy in life and smiled everyday..
