This is my beloved father, Bill, sitting in his favorite chair in the garage with his favorite dog, Laddie.  It's also where Dad played his guitar and harmonica.  

Laddie, an adoptee from a local pound, helped Dad heal almost completely from his stroke over a decade ago.  When Dad developed Alzheimer's, Laddie was his link to the present. 

Sadly, Dad passed away on March 30 at the age of 86, leaving a grieving family and his faithful Scottish terrier behind.  I miss you, Dad!
