Lots of pics

I love this pic of my dad with his dad. He’s being silly and looks so happy. It’s one of the few photos of my grandfather when he’s not wearing a suit!

There’s more.

And here’s my dad with his son, Tommy (as he was called then). Dad is so proud!

There’s more.

Here he is providing a lap.

There’s more.

Here’s a skip of the generations:

There’s more.

Here’s dad with all of us.

There’s more.

And here we all are enjoying Lake George, Dad’s favorite place.

Speaking of Lake George, here’s Dad’s true favorite place, the hammock. We scattered some of his ashes here.

I actually don’t know where this is. He was very young, so not sure if it was Lake George.

At Linda’s wedding:

Dad had pics of his grandsons posted by his desk in his mancave. Here are Linda and Mark’s kids, the Colgans.

Here’s Dad in his truck in later years.

Another one of Dad in his hammock, this time sleeping. At Lake George. No idea when. It was his happy place. Let’s just guess maybe he was 55.

Before Willie, Dad had Rascal. Here’s Rascal under the covers while Dad reads in bed.

Smiling!

I don’t know the name of his childhood dog. Here’s Dad with his dad and their dog.

Here’s dad at his brother Bob’s house Christmas Day. He loved the lively mood at these dinners. Everyone was highly lubricated with hard liquor. Champagne was next.

I think this dog’s name was Cinder.

Speaking of Christmas, here’s dad with the gun Santa brought him. No idea if it’s real.

Here’s Dad with his big brother.

Only a few months old. His dad was around fifty or so.

And here he is with his beloved mom, Beatrice.

Here’s Dad with both his brothers and his mom. Another rare sight of Dad in a suit.

Dad had a good life. He was loved and well taken care of. Family was super important to him. He’s now reunited with the loved ones who departed before him. In that giant hammock in the sky.
