The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, June 16, 2021 A-5 CHARGERS HAVE A BLAST AT POST PROM RIGHT TO LIFE SALUTES ALL Fathers ON THIS Father's Day! Paid for by Daviess and Pike County Right to Life, Inc. The following comes from the heart of someone who remembers his father on this Father's Day. As we approach Father's Day, I think of the tremendous difference my father made in my life. No, he may not have been a profes - sional person. He was not well-schooled. He worked at tough jobs in his life, but he was a proud man, not one to take a hand out, not one to ask for anything that he could not earn on his own. He worked long hours to provide for his large family. No, he did not complain about the hard work or the long hours. He was just glad to have the money to put food on the table for us. I remember when I would be getting up on those cold winter mornings, warming myself by the old coal stove as he kissed Mom goodbye, and seeing him drive off to work and thinking to myself, "How can he do that?" But I was thankful he was able to do so. I know there were times he went to work when he did not feel well and many of us kids were sick, but he did not complain. He was my father and I was so proud of him for doing what he did. He gave me more than any man could pass on to their chil - dren, determination to work hard and provide for the family, live a good and decent life, and set a good example to follow. Yes, Dad is gone now, but his memories will always be in my heart and he will always be an inspiration to me to be the best father I can be to my children. He raised a large family, but he never complained. He accepted what God gave him, and the lives he was given to raise and protect. Dad, thanks from the bottom of my heart! I will always remember what you have done for me! Love you! Xavier Schultz ducks in preparation for the incoming arm of the "Wipe- out"-themed inflatable at post prom on Saturday, June 12.
