Today January 31, 2007 would have been my Dad's 90th birthday(he died April 7, 1963). He passed away at age 46(two yrs yonger than I am now) in the same house where he was born(as was I) in Copper Cliff, Ontario(Sudbury). Spent 30 years working for INCO as a machinist(the last 13 of those years spent on two artificial legs he made himself).

He was quite a man!

So! Here's to you Harry Edmunston R---r!

Just a though, "Why is it we miss our Dads more when they are gone?".
I think I know how your feeling.

"Why is it we miss our Dads more when they are gone?".

I was only 5 when my Dad passed away(my brothers were 15 and 17), so all I can do, or could ever do, was miss him. My Mother never remarried or even had a steady. She always replied when I asked why "Your Dad had pretty big shoes to fill(even though he had no feet) and nobody ever came close". Not to mention the three of us(brothers) were......well, something!

And the 31st was son Luke's 28th. I think I'll cry when he hits 30.
