Dad loves fishing

Bob's sister, Deb, lives next door to an amazing artist that we hired to paint a portrait of my Dad.

Here is the picture we've chosen. I'll post the painting when she is finished.

My Dad's passion was fishing. I think all of my siblings (3 brothers, 3 sisters!) will remember our Sunday afternoons growing up - fishing, pretty much each and every weekend. As we all grew up and moved away, Dad still went fishing - with or without Sybella (my Mom) More about Mom later, I don't have many pictures of her unfortunately, but I'll find some. I don't think it was really all that important to Dad whether or not he caught any fish - it was more the nature of it.
