My dad was among the biggest influences in my life. I know most would say that about a parent, but in our case, among a lot of adversity and circumstances good and bad, my dad influenced me greatly. He had a passion, zest and veracity for living life. He preached that to us, his family, and did that himself until PD robbed him of the ability to do so over nearly 30 years (he had very early onset). Sadly, for many reasons, but PD being the primary one, I have missed my dad for a long time now. He died recently, thankfully for him, and is off to a better place. Sadly for us still here, his absence is a reminder of a great person we miss, with a uniquely kind and gentlemanly way yet larger than life personality. I want to support Michael J. Fox by remembering my dad. I hope you might join me in supporting and sharing your memories of my dad too. Many thanks. -michael
