A DAY FOR THE DADS

HERE’S TO THE JOKESTERS AND THE MOTIVATORS

To the fathers in the world, kick back in that favorite recliner, enjoy an ice-cold brew and watch some golf. For fathers in the Keys, jump on the boat, go fishing with the family and enjoy a fresh catch for dinner. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18, as sons and daughters, wives and loved ones show their love and express their gratitude to the rocks in their lives, the jokesters that provide needed comical relief and the repairmen that know what to do when the car has issues. In advance of Father’s Day, the Keys Weekly reached out to a few rad dads in the Keys on some advice they’ve received, a proud father moment and that “honey do” item they’ve been putting off for some time now.

— Keys Weekly staff report

Best advice you’ve ever gotten from any dad? Accept failure, don’t quit and keep moving forward.

Proudest dad moment thus far? Matthew graduating and getting a job on what he set out to do, and Emma having a heart of service and helping at church and Rotary. What “honey do” have you been putting off for the longest and why? Buying a house. Not having a mortgage is fantastic.

Best advice you’ve ever gotten from any dad? “Pull my finger!”

Proudest dad moment thus far? Cheering for both my daughters competing in their first swim meet together.

What “honey do” have you been putting off for the longest and why? Painting the interior of the house because I HATE painting.
