June 6, 1979
On this date in 1979 we hadn't met our son/brother/nephew/uncle/grandson as yet and were wondering when 'baby P.' would arrive and whether on due date or over due. How lucky we were again. How lucky we are still. xos
The eldest of 12 children in upstate Maine, he made his way down to Connecticut for work and, after a bashful courtship with Jeanne, raised three children with the belief that loving your family means supporting your family, even if that means working 3 jobs at once; a Republican who thought Social Security was something to hold onto; an ex-smoker who sat with the smokers at work; a man who acquired the affection of others without ever kissing anyone's ass; a husband who took great joy in getting his wife to laugh; a father who showed his pride with good, subtle advice; a grandfather who didn't stop grinning whenever he heard or observed Natalie. A gentleman and a gentle man.
