The Fathers Day thread

I lost my father almost 3 years ago..
I love him and miss him very much..
But that is not how I want this thread to go..
I want to thank the older men that are in my life that have been like a father to me.. I mean, I am old, but sometimes you just need some good old fashioned fatherly advice..
Thanks uncle Norm.. You are truly a great man and keep me smiling and focused at every turn
And thanks to my boss Joe.. Boss yes, but I consider you one of my best friends and I love the way you look out for me..
Anybody else honoring the ones that arent "really" their fathers this year?

if anyone wants it, drop me a pm and it's yours
I don't see him as often as I would like to, his first family takes care of him now.
Never had any other father figure...I pretty much was on my own growing up.

He's 69 now. I dread the day he may pass away. And my Mum. I've been blessed with two WONDERFUL parents who are still happy after 51 years together.
It's not Fathers Day here....we celebrate it in September. I just wanted an excuse to tell everyone my Dad is COOL AS FUCK!

Not exactly....but he's tested the crystals for me on his hand (and nose?) AND constantly helps me out with business ideas. He has a fantastic business brain....and I'm trying to learn EVERYTHING he knows.

Miss him something awful but he done good while he was here!
Sorry, I don't have a fill in for him, but thats okay. Whenever I asked him advice I knew what his answers would be anyway
But I'll take this as an opportunity to say thank you as well ...
I am in the lucky position to have two dads, my biological one and my stepdad. My parents got divorced when I was too little to remember, so apart from pics, I don't really have recollections of my bio dad from my early childhood. We were in sporadic contact, and started getting to know each other more when I was already grown up. We have a lot in common and have developed a very strong relationship since then and I am very happy to have him in my life. My stepdad came into my life when I was 6. He was so much in love with my mom that he left buzzing Berlin to come to my hometown and live with a woman who had three little girls
He must be very much in love! :P

RIP DAD
I also hold the pain for 3 NYC firefighters who died at a fire 11 years to the day on Fathers Day. 2 of these men were right next to me when the explosion occurred, the other man trapped in the basement. They left behind 9 children who will never get to see them again. My prayers to all their families.
RIP MY BROTHERS
I'll hold the pain
Release Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!
Was and still is
That's a real stroke of good luck there Ziggy.
My dad passed in September 09.We had such difficult times in my youth but I never doubted the love between us.I wish I had got to know him much better than I did,that only happened in his later years but by that time Alzheimers had taken much of him.
I miss him very much,he taught me generosity,to never to suffer a fool and be proud of what I can achieve.
But for today,I dedicate Fathers Day to my wonderful brother,love you Tobo.
Husband is GREAT Dad even though his own is not in his life.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
