Our Fathers are both gone now. I was really lucky to have my Dad for 71 Father's Days. Not many people can say that.
Me, other baby brother, our Dad and baby brother. Our sister was not born yet when this photo was taken in 1963.
Far Guy only got to have his Dad for 44 Father's Days.

Yes we could be sad because they are gone...instead I chose to be thankful for the years we had them in our lives. Both wonderful Fathers who did the best they could.
Happy Father's Day!

It is important to honour the memories, if they are good!
Yes, you were incredibly fortunate to have had so many Father's Days with your own dads. Thank you for sharing your dad with me through all these years.
What a wonderful tribute to your fathers! My dad is nearly 86 and still with us. I agree, I'm grateful for the years I've had my father in my life.
Good way to think that we think of our Dad's when we had them.
Look at you with scarf around your neck! Remember when those were all the rage? I think they're coming back! Happy Father's Day to Far Guy!
I so agree with your statement - I too, am grateful that I had 49 years with my Dad. It has been 15 years this fall since he passed and I treasure all the memories we made over the years.
Our fathers are both long gone but not forgotten. Now Tom, the father of our children, is aging at 81. He's still going a lot stronger than I am, though, and still very much a part of the lives of his kids and grand kids.
Great old pictures from the past.
Happy Father's Day to Far Guy.
Love the old pictures.
We do need to count our blessings. :)
Happy Father's Day to Far Guy. I had my dad for 53 Father's Days and I cherish every one of them. Love your old-time pictures!
Wonderful old photos to bring good memories. I had 35 father’s days with my dad, which was not nearly enough.
My dad had so many struggles in life and I have to remember to think of the things that made him happy and laugh. When I look at your photo of four I can see why you call them baby brother and the other baby brother. I am glad they live close to you.
