I learned that you are never too busy to take your family to church. I learned how to love your wife and kids . I learned how to treat my fellow man. I learned that doing your best was as important as what you were doing. I learned all this and more not by what he said but by what he did.
Some people are big on words and short on action .
Below is something my youngest brother wrote the day my dad died . THE BEST DAD Dad did everything that could be asked of a father. In 12 years of ball games I can't remember him missing a one. This was a very not so subtle way of Dad letting the slow riser know that a fire would be extinguished shortly in his bed. After everyone was up and moving he would make a sack lunch for himself and Mom.
