My Dad was one of the hardest working men I knew. He was the kind of person who didn’t say much but proved the work ethic of just going and getting the job done.  He often repaired cars for so many even when our own cars were down. He taught me how to play baseball even though he never played it at all, coaching me and my brothers for three years. Later he became an umpire and would take me under his wings and show me the ropes.  That would lead to a 20 year career in Sports as an official.
