He also fought in WWII but wouldn't say much about it, not on a personal level anyway. I lost my dad in '94 and he did see my kids, but did not see me realize my dream of becoming a writer. He was always SO encouraging.

My dad passed when I was very young, but I did have an uncle who was the best surrogate dad one could ask for. He bought me my first Barbie doll, much to my mom's chagrin, beloved comic books, and tires for my first car. We watched Saturday night Shock Theater together and he drove me and my girlfriends to dances before we could drive.
