I grew up watching westerns; The Lone Ranger, Bonanza, The Ponderosa, and many others. My favorite cowboy was Little Joe. But, my hero was my dad. He was a very generous, humble man. He gave to others when he really didn't have anything to give. He gave of his time, his resources, and his finances. He also gave his heart. He cared deeply for his family, his neighbors, friends, anybody he came in contact with. He showed concern and tenderness and exemplified what it means to be a decent human being. Twenty two years later I still miss him.
