It's been six years today...
My dad has been gone for six years now. He was a husband, dad to three kids, a ham radio enthusiast, loved computers, yodeling music, tinkering, building things, buying cookbooks and so many other things too numerous to mention here. He took me to my first rock concert and he didn't like rock music at all. He took me to my first Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics games despite not really caring for sports all that much.
Along with my mother, he was in the stands rooting me on when the teams I coached won championships, and he told many people how proud he was of my coaching work. He grew up without much of a stable home life, but gave my mom, my siblings and me that which he never had.
He was proud of me for my coaching...I'm proud to be the son of George Roberts.
