Aside from the no smoking thing, I guess I did learn a lot from my Dad in the short time I had him in my life. He really did love me and always called me "His Pal". He was a really hard worker, worked 3 jobs every day of his life. He was a diesel mechanic in the steel mill, then when he got home at 3 pm he had a prezel route where he delivered chips and stuff to bars. He would grab a few hours sleep and then go out and play sax in a band until 2 pm, then get a couple more hours sleep and do it all over again the next day. Probably that life didn't help his health any either.

I really wish he would have lived long enough to know my own two Sons.......he would have loved them and had a lot in common because of their sax playing.
