Father's Day Letters

June 19, 2010 8:36 PM PT

Dad,

Thank you for your years of love, guidance and support. I couldn’t have reached my goals without you!

Go, Bruins!!

Happy Father’s Day.

Love,

Noelle A. Park

Hi Dad,

GC here on behalf of all your kids and grandkids. It’s been six months since we held your hand, kissed your forehead and tearfully said goodbye. I think of you every day, whether in the eyes of my children or while quietly paddling out in west Newport. Fond memories from family and friends continue to be shared. You touched a lot of lives and gave us a charmed life. I strive to be the father to my kids that you were to me. Thanks for leading the way, Crano!

Love,

G. Scott Crane

To my Downhilling Dad!

You’ve taught me everything necessary to be the best skateboarder and a good human being. Congratulations for still holding the downhill record on Spyglass Hill ... a record that still stands 30 years later! Your trophy and creed will be passed along for generations...

You’re the best,

Lawrence T. Shamon, Jr.

I am writing to say that I have the best dad in the world. He stands to me as a father who puts his family before his own needs, and who lives his life with great character. I appreciate every moment that I can spend with him, especially when playing ping pong and tennis. I cannot ask for a better dad!

Craig Tozer

Our dad Tim is the best dad ever! He is supportive, compassionate and really funny. He loves snowboarding, surfing, biking and gardening with us. The things our dad teaches and does for us are way too many to list. However, the one thing we will always remember is our dad loves us.

We love you up to the moon, forever and ever.

Tyler, Jordan and Jensen Fishkin

(can’t forget Zany and Enzo)

Brat kid from Island,

SUPER dad of The Shores,

Hundreds of miles we’ve traveled ...

Memories for life ... tons of of loving friends and family ... what could you need more?

From surfing to lake boarding ... and saying “Y’all”

The beach is your passion, your kids are your life …

Your lil water buddy is totally full of life,

Your daughters full of beans ... so we all know she’s yours …

We all love you so dearly and thank god that you are … completely ours.

So proud to say your my husband ...

You’re totally one rad dad!

XOXOXOXO, your wife, son & daughter

Dear Dad,

We are so lucky to have the best Dad in the World! You are so fun to be around. We love to play volleyball with you, play in the pool and go surfing with you. Thank you for all that you do!

Love,

Braden and Lexi

Dear Dad,

You are what they call a big kid. You seek out adventures in life, make the most of every day, and really really care for us. Your world revolves around us and you are happy of that. I hope that you take this day to let us make you the King. You deserve it!

Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

Dear Dad,

Now I’m a dad myself and can tell you with less cuteness but more insight how grateful I am for all you have sacrificed for us. I remember the lean times, and I appreciate all the humiliation you suffered and sacrifices you made trying to take care of us. Thank you for keeping the faith, never giving up on us, and taking the high road even when it was difficult. I love you always and I am proud to be your son and bear your name.

Charles D. Larson, Jr.

We want to thank our dad for being understanding and kind. We really appreciate the way he makes time to take us fishing. It was so fun getting a first flag, and we have a lot of fun hanging out with him. Our dad always supports us, and comes to all of our sporting events too. We wish him a Happy Father’s Day because he is the best, and loves us very much.

Kellen and Trevor

Happy Father’s Day to three of the greatest men I’ve ever known : My dad Joseph Fratiello, who now resides in heaven, to my father-in law William Coburn, who also now resides in heaven, and to my stepdad Leroy Welton, now age 87, who lives with me in Costa Mesa. Thanks for all you do for us and did for the world in the past.

We love ya.

Paul Fratiello and Maus Coburn

Dear Nima,

Just over two years ago, you were so nervous about becoming a father. You worried if our unborn son would like you, how you would hold our baby and how to change a diaper. Now here you are as a wonderful, confident and hands-on dad, constantly bringing joy to our toddler, Keegan. He loves the funny faces you make with him, playing ‘wrestle-wrestle’, watching you play guitar, and swimming at the beach. He can’t wait for you to teach him how to surf one day too! We love you so much, Happy Father’s Day!

Claire and Keegan

I Love my dad because...

“He takes me on bike rides and gives me special gifts sometimes” — Sydney

“He kisses and hugs me and tucks me in my bed at night”— Shelby

” He’s fun and likes to play with me.

I guess you could say he’s my hero.

I like him a lot”— Josh

You’re the best dad in the whole wide world!

Dear Daddy,

Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for all you do for us; you are a caring and loving father. Your advice is wonderful and your knowledge exceeds most. You are also modest and humble. You are always there for us and take care of us. You have a great sense of humor and nice personality. We will always love you, no matter what you do. Once again thank you for everything you do for us and happy fathers day.

Love,

Caroline, Christina, Jeanne and Amy Quigg

Dear Daddy,

Truman and I are so lucky to have you as our super Mr. Mom. Mommy misses us all at work each day but I tell her its all ok because we have so much fun making “bus sized” bubbles in the backyard, building wild toys together, playing Hotwheels and always having you there to encourage us, give us hugs and wipe our tears. Daddy, we love you soooooo much and wish you a great Father’s Day!

Love ,your sons,

Henry (3) and Truman (1) Nielson Koch

Dear Dad,

You are truly the best dad in the world, for as you are reading this message I’m in South Africa at the FIFA World Cup on your dime. The only thing I like more than your money (that you rightfully earned although I accuse you of playing pinball all day) is your company. Whenever I’m feeling down I turn on rap music and watch you interpret lyrics while attempting to dance. We believe that although you’re one of the world’s worst dancers, you’re certainly the most entertaining. I look forward to more dancing when I return from South Africa!

Love,

Trevor

Dear Dad,

Thank you for everything you do every day, for all of us;

Making us constantly laugh at ourselves, reminding us to appreciate each other and to respect individuality. Thank you for instilling a love of art, world culture, travel and music. Thank you for being the “constant Teacher” in our lives and enriching every moment with the value of family, unconditional love, and what it takes to make the best sushi!!

You, Dad, are the best and we LOVE YOU more than you will ever know.

Love your kids,

Siena, Nikki and Zeno

To My Dearest Dad,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the years of infinite love and support you have given me. I still continue to learn so much from you and I will always turn to you for guidance with all the obstacles life brings. I am so proud to be your daughter and so incredibly thankful for a father who is wise, generous, and encouraging. You have made my life so special and have always made me feel precious and treasured. There is no father as wonderful as mine. Happy Father’s Day!

Love,

Reynolds

Happy Father’s Day, dad! I love you because you’re nice, fun to be around and you give me lots of hugs and kisses!

Love, Parker

Happy Father’s Day! I love you because you taught me how to ride a two-wheel bike, you’re nice and you’re smart!

Love,

Kennedy

Happy Father’s Day, dad! Thank you for being such a great dad. You are always there on the side lines for our games, cheering us on. We love that you are such a big Ducks fan, and we always look forward to going to games with you.

We love you ...

Sarah, Chase and Tiki

My father has always put his family first, sacrificing his own needs and wants to provide for us, even taking a second job to send me to the best preschool money could buy. Dad had a very successful military career (serving us during the L.A. Riots and Desert Storm) without a formal degree, but wanted me to have more options. Emphasizing the importance of education from the time I could talk, he always told me I was going to college and spoke of it in a way that excited my imagination. I owe my success and happiness to my Dad.

Megan DeWitt

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD! I want to say my dad is the best! This is Stirling Flecky and my sister Brandy Flecky. We love our dad very much because he takes us to the beach and swap meet. I am 12 years old and Brandy is 6 years old. We live in Newport Beach. We are going to give dad something good and take him to the Aloha Grill in Costa Mesa because he likes Hawaiian food.

Stirling and Brandy Flecky

Our dad, Greg Bartz, is the best. He coaches our baseball and soccer teams, plays board games with us and takes us to the skateboard park. He cooks awesome scrambled eggs, is really good at math, and let us get a dog.

We love you dad! Happy Father’s Day!!

Julie and Ryan Bartz

We love when you play with us, especially soccer, baseball, basketball and swimming. We love sock fights, too. You are so fun and we are so lucky you are our Dad! We love you!

Kate and Cody Hess

Dad,

You are the most awesome dad in the world. You are funny, nice, and friendly to everyone, except for me sometimes : ). I appreciate everything that you have ever done. You have always been there for me and always know how to cheer me up. You are the coolest guy ever! I love you so much, and I hope that you have an amazing Father’s Day. You definitely deserve it!

Love,

Cassie Stevenson

Dad:

Thank you for being my dad, for being there and all that you do.

Love,

Mark Keys

Dear Daddy,

My dad is the best in the whole wide world. He is always there for me and my family. My daddy goes through alot with surgeries and medical problems, but he never gives up. He keeps on trying his hardest. He’s the nicest man no matter what. I could not ask for a better dad, mine is the greatest. I love you daddy!

Love,

Megan Keys, 12

My dad is the best dad in the whole entire world. He is always there for me no matter how bad he feels. He is always smiling and he loves being with his family. I know I can always depend on him for anything. I love him more than anything in the world!

Love,

Page Keys, 14

Dear Dad,

I love you so much. I love shooting hoops with you, playing catch, and taking long journeys with you. You are so much fun. Enjoy your last Father’s Day in your 30s. I love you so much.

Love,

Little dog

Hi Dad! Oct. 4, 1985, was a very special day for you!! Happy Father’s Day! I wish I could be there to spend it with you. I hope you have a wonderful day! I love you.

Your daughter,

Andrea Munson

We love our dad Tom for all the wonderful things he does for us. Not only does he put a roof over our heads and provide for his family, he’s always there to support us in school and sports and all our activities. He always encourages us to be our best. There is nothing he wouldn’t do with, or for us. He’s also a lot of fun and there is never a dull moment when you are around him. Thanks for all you do for us dad! We love you!

Annie and Kate LaGrandeur

I love my daddy because he is teaching me to read and helps me with my computer when I get stuck in Toontown. He gives me kisses when he leaves for work and gives me medicine when I am sick. I love my daddy very much—A LOT! Happy Father’s Day!

Love,

Rosy

Bob,

Father, friend, philanthropist, to name a few,

Comic, fix-it-man and sports enthusiast, everyone knew!

Always making sure his boys are having loads of fun!

Saying “I love you”, everyday to us three,

Handing out hugs as if they are free!

We thank you for making us better people, everyday,

We thank you for making our lives GREAT, in every way!!

Kim, Grayson and Paxton Miller

Timmy – God certainly made you in His image. With all the love, kindness and time you’ve shared with me since Mom “found you at church” all those years ago, you’ve been a constant source of support and wisdom to me and my sisters – thank you.

I love you, and Happy Father’s Day!

Your ill kid,

Manado

Dad,

You’ve been there through the good times and the bad times, always ready to give a helping hand or the shirt off your back. Thanks for all the good advice and the love you’ve given over the years, and for making us the people we are today. We love you Dad!

Alex and Lauren

Happy Father’s Day to the best dad ever!

Thank you for always loving us for who we are.

My daddy does so much for me. He plays with me, sings with me, and teaches me how to swim. But, most importantly, he teaches me how to do my hair... just like his.

Curran Mitchell

We want others to know how much we love you, pope Shaun! Thank you for putting up with us: me, the dogs (Max and Lucky), and Icy. No matter how tired you are, you spend countless hours trying to pick up our wrong deeds to make things better for us. Look, we are not all perfect, but our love for you is endless. Happy Father’s Day!

Toni Aragon

Dad (Tom Anderson), we love you so much and we appreciate all your hard work and support. Whether it is at our soccer games or cross country races, we can always count on you to be there, cheering us on! You are such a kind and caring person, and we wouldn’t ask for any other person to be our dad! As the days of our many family adventures become our pasts, we will always love you. Without you this family would fall apart. We love you, happy father’s day!

From your loving daughters,

Paige and Molly Anderson

Hey, Daddy. Thanks for being a great dad. Thanks for being funny AND fun. Thanks for giving me sisters and nieces and nephews. I love to jump on you and you don’t say “ouch” like coca. Happy Father’s Day. I love you. Let’s go riding our bikes. LU.

We love our daddy because he takes us to play T-ball, soccer, tennis and basketball in the alley. We also like it when he takes us to the Fun Zone and gets us candy when mommy says it’s okay. We think daddy is the gooiest daddy in the whole world and we love him so much.

Happy Father’s Day , daddy!
