He was born in 1920 and celebrated his 91st birthday last month! Thankfully we have a good amount of pictures of both he and my Mom as young people, but alas, no wedding pictures. The tiny little picture in the upper right is him - you can see where Liam gets his curly hair; the picture is in bad shape, but it exists. There are 3 pictures of the 2 of us and the lower middle one was taken this year in Florida, with his beloved Heidi, his "little princess".
We will be visiting him and my Mom this week to celebrate their 66th wedding anniversary!!

This is so sweet! How blessed you are to have both of your parents. I love old photos - they bring back such precious memories. My dad will be 89 this July. I am blessed beyond words to still have him. Enjoy your DADDY :-)
So sweet, Lin! Glad my post with my picture of my Dad inspired you. Love seeing all these pictures of your Dad.
Wow Lin this is such a lovely idea, love your photo collage. Sadly my Dad died when I was only 26 but I still think of him he was a wonderful father!
Wonderful photos of your dad! Precious are the black and white ones, I am fortunate to own a few black and white originals of my parents, so priceless!
A beautiful collage, Lin. You are fortunate to have your parents with you. Your dad is a handsome man and yes I see where Liam gets that beautiful, curly hair :)
Wow 66 years of marriage, that is amazing, lovely seeing your pictures. Loved your cards in the previous posts too.
And doesn't he look good still Lin! A lovely collage to keep - old family photos are so precious and being able to manipulate without damaging them is one of the great blessings of the digital age - in my humble opinion!
My Dad is 98 and it is such a blessing to have him with us still and in good health for his age.
Lin this is such a wonderful tribute to your dad! Such lovely pictures and I can really see the family resemblance between the generations!
Oh, Lin, this collage is wonderful! And, God bless him, he is still alive and well...what a gift! And married 66 years on top of that...what a blessing!
Sorry I have been absent from commenting for a while...I do check in on your posts but haven't had time to even log in to comment...usually late at night before bed (helps clear the mind!). I have loved all your posts, as usual...I promise to start leaing some comments now that the mad rush is over!
Take care,
Judy
