Yes, he is. He actually lightened up a lot after the five of us left the house to be on our own!
Mom passed away about 3-1/2 years ago, and dad remarried last year, to a really wonderful lady. She and dad and mom went to the same church together and knew each other for a little over 10 years.
Unfortunately, dad is sick with cancer, and probably will not be with us too much longer.
It's been so fun to share the funny memories with everyone on this thread.
So sorry to hear about your Mom's death and your Dad's cancer. Sounds like he's making the most of his remaining time and, hopefully, you and the family are making the most of your time with him.
