...would have been 89 today...born on the day of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and he always claimed to be innocent!
He also married my mom on Christmas Day 1949, and died on tax day, 2008....he knew kind of the memorable days.
My dad was not a sports' fan per se, but he gave my self and my younger brothers the blessing to 'play'....he never interfered with a coach, never questioned our heart, only gave us the admonition to do our best at WHATEVER we chose. All three of us played college sports.
He was the greatest example of a husband possible. He treated my mom like royalty.
While he was not a SPORTS fan, he WAS a Husker fan, though not the kind that would dwell on either wins or losses...there were bigger things in life for him, I guess...
I find it very appropriate that the last game he saw in person was the miracle in Missouri, '97...he was seated in the end zone where IT happened. I love it. And the thrower is now our coach.
Blessings to you all...thanks for letting me share...have a great day.
