My Quotable Dad


Here are five sayings from my very funny, quotable dad:

     1.       Last year I couldn’t spell engineer – now I are one.
     2.       …and he finished it in one swell foop!
     3.       Time wounds all heels.
     4.       He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooteth.
 and finally:
     5.       I love you.




Today my dad, Jack Bach would have celebrated his 96th birthday, if he had not left us in 2006.  I still think of him almost every day.  He was smart and funny and kind and really had a way with words.  So here are about 55 of his words for  G-man at FFF55.  
Happy Birthday Dad – I love you too!

      Thanks Margaret. I think I got my sense of humor from him (even though I'm not always funny here).
