A picture is worth 1,000 words, so here’s my first and only 5,000 word post.
This last photo is how I remember him best: doing what he loved most, drumming for Ringling Bros.
What a fucking cool dude.
Happy Father’s Day.

Wonderful. Love the pic of you with your face painted especially.
One of his dear friends, and Ringling clowns, Peggy Williams, painted my face that day. It was a big deal for me. Thank you lady – you know I heart your face.
The feeling is mutual
That man reeks of kickass. I see why you’re so awesome yourself.
Don, don’t make me cry.
Okay do.
Actually, just thank you.
1,000 times over. Thank you.

Did he ever take you to the gun show?
Every day when he put on his tank top. His uniform was tanks and cut-off jean shorts and Birkenstocks, before it was cool. So yes. The gun show was every day : )
I don’t even have to take my kids to the gun show because it is right here at my house.
Awesome photos – I love your dad’s sunglasses and mustache, mini-clown you is super cute.
Thanks Karen! The 70’s were a trip, right?
A great tribute…That top photo is so lovelyl…a beautiful guy with such a pensive look on his face. And a drummer! But I agree with others here – your little clown face is the best.
Thank you Miss Molly – he was one of kind : )
A circus drummer AND an amazing dad! The stories you must be able to tell about your childhood… I hope we get to read some more of them soon.
Hey thanks!!! My parents definitely kept shit interesting. More to come. This pesky job is really getting in the way of me socializing with y’all. [sigh]
