Heck , he even goes out on lunch`n and dinner dates , with some of his " girl friends " ( school teachers ) he has known from being a school crossing guard for twenty years ( that was after he retired from head of security for BAE Systems / NH office , as well as a part-time cop ) .

I think he would still be working part time and driving , but after having an aortic valve replacement and double by-pass 4 years ago , it kind of slowed him down , just a little !! LOL

Some days , I think he has more energy than me !!

Although my mom died back in 05 , I am blessed to still have a dad that is reasonable healthy , at least for a 99 years young!

Thanks , take care smile

Gary


Russ said your dad is a lucky guy ... I know where he is coming from, but I say you are BOTH lucky ... my father passed away when he was 65 and I was 37 ... I realized just how young he was when I turned 65 ...

God Bless you both ...
