My dad being the hippest hipster of 1975. He's still pretty much the coolest!

My dad is the coolest guy I know. Here he is with my beautiful mother sometime in the mid-1970s.

look at these two bad asses here! My dad is a great man, came to this county and worked his way to his American dream. Was a bus boy, gas attendant, waiter, and now rocks the nerdiest cable knit accountant sweaters you imagine. Mi papi

Here is my dad in his prime chest hair age enjoying a sub-zero football game. While his partying lifestyle did sometimes cause issues with the family, he has always been there for me no matter what.

I am such a Daddy's Girl. Here he is in high school. I have inherited so much from him, my love of film, music, whiskey, etc. Currently 57 years old, he still "spins vinyl" (his words) at his fave dive bar. I still don't think I will ever be as cool as this man.

Dad passed away last year. One year ago today was the last time I talked to him. Miss you daddy.
