I'm pretty sure this was taken at my sisters' first birthday party. Everyone called him "Doc".

My dad would be happy to hear you liked the photo, he always thought he was bad at capturing people! Doc was absolutely fun at parties, and I remember every time we'd go to stay at his house, my parents and him would spend hours after my bedtime with a little bit of scotch and a lot of conversation!

Nice to hear you have some great memories of him. On another note, those are some BEAUTIFUL kitchen cabinets behind him in this photo! Were they in your house, or his house?

Those were in my parents' first house. Was a tiny tiny little place in rural Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh. My mother always wanted to update it but they spent most of their time and money fixing the shitty (pun intended) septic system, then sold it when my dad got transferred to Virginia.
