On May, 29 th at 1400 hrs I lost the person in my life I can truley say was a hero to me. My dad Bernard was a soldier in Europe,steam fitter,husband,brother and a dad. He left his family in Ireland in 1973 to bring his wife and kids to America for a better life. Already set up with a job,apartment and a Sponser we headed for the USA. He welded all day and played in a band till 4am Thursday to Sunday nights to buy a home for us on Long Island. The man could swing a hammer by day and make beautiful music at night.
He was small in stature but a giant by heart and strength I never saw a man in his sixties carry a welding bottle on his shoulders before. My dad was 81 in April and on June,8 th would have celebrated his 50 th wedding Annv. With our mom. So rest in peace dad I know your getting a lot of requests for an Irish jig in Heaven today. Rest in peace.
