My Dad by Rick Giuliani
My first memory of my Dad was when I was 4 years old. He had taken me to a construction site to do carpentry work. We agreed that I could walk around the Dump Truck as long as I had one hand touching it. About an hour later when he returned I showed him a handful of nails I had found. I still remember the concerned look on his face as I explained, that I had pulled them from the tires with a pair of pliers I had found under the seat.
What followed was his first life lesson to me. "Don't pull nails from tires unless you are back at the Shop." Pretty simple but as I got older I realized how deep it was. He was saying, "Rick, don't rush in to fix things, there can e unintended consequences." Unfortunately, I still struggle to learn this lesson.
Everyone knows he had Polio and had "a good leg, and a good arm." But he was never handicapped. He taught me to build houses, Climb and weld steel, and to Hunt. One day after a long hunt we were walking across a brush and snow covered field when we both slipped and fell on our backs into the snow. I knew I was tired and did not immediately move to get up. After about 15 seconds my Dad said, "Lets take 5." I agreed and we both laughed and laughed as we lay on our backs in the snow.
My Dad truly cared about people. he always seemed to have people in his office that had come to ask advise or just to talk. People would come up to him, even in the woods, as we hunted asking if he were Vince. He accepted everyone. He was smart, tough, and a Great Father.
