re: Tell Me About your Dad

My dad was awesome. Ex-cab driver, Houma city police til he died from lung cancer in 1980 @ 55. Hadn't smoked in 40+ years, being around everyone at p.d. though.I walked into his hospital room at the wrong time one day when they were drawing fluid off his lungs-man seeing that tube go into his back; one tear rolled down his face. We went on vacations to the gulf coast every summer. Used to go to the wrestling matches with him, they had police working them, hung out with a bunch of the old timers. He was GM 3 U.S. Navy, was burned in an attack on his ship and never sent back. WISH HE WAS STILL HERE.
