He's 89 now and I sorely miss the laughs, the advice and the ribbings. <br /><br />Still a good man, only it's as if he's someone else in my dad's body. <br /><br />Should be used to by now. <br />burkdoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415999670111144914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-9588380991283081102015-09-09T07:50:05.447-04:002015-09-09T07:50:05.447-04:00Old Spice, woodsmoke, the smell of old Peters shot...Old Spice, woodsmoke, the smell of old Peters shotgun shells being fired, Hoppes (the old, bad, stuff with benzene and banana oil), balsam fir needles, the list goes on.ASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-6868858710666545772015-09-09T07:48:58.207-04:002015-09-09T07:48:58.207-04:00

A lot of memories, and ...Yes, men and our fathers. A lot of memories, and we're called upon to imbed similar memories to our children. Your dad and mine were both a strong presence.<br /><br />All fathers are a strong presence, if they stay with their families. For good or ill, and we are privileged to have had fathers who leave good memories for their children. Not all fathers do that, you know. We're the lucky ones.<br /><br />So it comes down to us to be the fathers that we want to have had, for OUR children. The best things a father can do is to be there for us, and to provide a good role model. I'm not the best father I can be, I don't live up to my own "Pop", but I do love my children and perhaps that's the best I can do.<br /><br />But I don't wear after shave. On me, it smells like an insincere preacher.Jerry The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181610016755426448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-38852878745332997512015-09-08T22:42:36.717-04:002015-09-08T22:42:36.717-04:00Lost my dad in '06.

If it was getting near sundown, I'd call and see what he'd been doing all day. There are times I still catch myself, reaching for the cell.... He was a tough old peace officer.

It has a definite wood smell, not tiny at all.<br /><br />STxRynnSTxARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588850178293194825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-69264269553041710842015-09-08T22:31:23.028-04:002015-09-08T22:31:23.028-04:00Lost my Dad last week.

I don't really remember the scent but I distinctly remember the bottle and if I'm correct, a bright green color to it. I do wish I could have met your Dad.
