DAD WORKED ALL HIS LIFE AT A WOOD WORKING PLANT OR A BABY FURNITURE PLANT SUCH AS GRACO. HE NEVER MISSED A DAY. NO MATTER HOW SICK HE MAY HAVE BEEN, HE NEVER CALLED OFF.

AFTER WORKING FULL TIME AND THEN SOME HE CAME HOME AND WORKED MORE. HE MADE HOMEMADE DOLL FURNITURE. DAD COULD LOOK AT SOMETHING AND JUST MAKE IT. A VERY TALLENTED CRAFTY GUY HE WAS. I TAKE AFTER MY FATHER IN THIS WAY. HE ALWAYS CAME UP WITH A NEW LOOK FOR HIS FURNITURE. HE SOLD MANY PIECES TO STORES SUCH AS REBMANS IN LANCASTER. I LOVED THAT STORE. SADLY IT CLOSED UP AFTER THE OWNERS GOT OLD AND RETIRED. AND DIED. DAD'S FURNITURE CAN STILL BE FOUND. I HAD SOME BEFORE LOSING IT TO A FIRE. DAD ALWAYS MADE THIS FURNITURE BUT US GUYS NEVER HAD A PIECE OF IT. HE NEVER GAVE US ANY. I REALLY WISHED HE DID. I BOUGHT MINE FROM REBMANS THAT WAS STUCK IN THE BACKROOM FOREVER THAT HAD BEEN BROKEN BY A CUSTOMER. IT WAS A PLAY PEN THAT WAS MISSING THE FLOOR. I RESENTLY FOUND SOME AT SECOND HAND STORES AND AUCTIONS. SLOWLY I'M GETTING SOME PIECES. THEY ARE RARE AND HARD TO FIND. ITS TAKING ME YEARS TO FIND THEM. ANYWAYS DAD ALWAYS WAS WORKING ON THIS FURNITURE TO SELL FOR US GIRLS TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE. WE ALWAYS HAD SPECIAL BIRTHDAYS AND CHRISTMAS …

DAD WAS A SPECIAL MAN THAT IS FOREVER MISSED AND LOVED. GOD GOT A GREAT ANGEL.
