At a time when our beloved Country is racked by dissension, one can only hope, nay, believe that there are a multitude of people like Dave and his daughters who serve as foundational representatives for all we hold dear.
From one proud Dad to another, Happy Father's Day, John!
Bravo! All I could think about is Dad and I planting a telephone pole together to put up our first backboard and rim out on the farm. It was 1962. I was 10. Shot hoops year round sometimes in the dark. Dad spent lots of time standing at the pole to pass it back to me and also to make the ball didn’t roll under the fence into the bull corral. Thank you! And thank you Dad! I miss you everyday.
When my son was in grade school he played soccer for a bit then basketball. He called this morning to tell me that the memory he has of me being supportive was when he came to me as a sixth grader and said he didn’t want to play basketball anymore. He said he was so afraid that he was a disappointment to me if he quit. He said that when he told me he didn’t want to play anymore I said if you don’t want to play that is ok, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. He thought he was the best supporting dad ever
Great story John. My dad bought season tickets for Wazzu football in 1958, he graduate in ‘38, when my brother started college. My daughter’s knew the fight song before learning the Star Spangled Banner. My twin brother has kept the tradition going

My wish for every father today is that one day they get to see their grandchildren play sports! ❤️

Terrific story, John. Happy Father's Day!
Dave truly planted more than coins. May he Rest In Peace while his girls share wonderful memories.
Perfect for today. Thanks.
Coins? He left quite an inheritance.
If I had a nickel for every story I could tell about my Dad and me...

Typo, he thought he had the best supporting dad ever.
Beautiful story. Thanks John.
My Dad turns 91 in July.
He's a massive Dodgers fan and is totally frustrated with their current TV arrangements in So Cal .
I found him an "unofficial" streaming site, but it recently got shut down.
So, I finally ponied up and subscribed him to all the necessary MLB.TV streaming accounts. He's thrilled and it makes me so happy.
Happy Father's Day All!
Thanks for the Father’s Day gift John…you have stirred up some of my greatest memories of my Dad as well as my Grandfathers. Happy Father’s Day!!!😊
Very sweet. As a dad and a granddad I can only hope I will be remembered by my kids like this
