Happy Father’s Day

By Harvey Tobkes

“Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care about small boys.”

That anonymous quotation, just sent a little zinger to my brain. My father died when I was 32 years old. We shared our love, but like most men, we never really verbalized it. My dad was never one to reveal his inner feelings, in fact, he used humor as a cover- up, and he was a 100% people person, loved by all, but really known by few.
