My father. The best and most loving dad. He was such a handsome man. Dad had such a great sense of humor. He could make the world smile. The greatest memory I have of my dad was the fact he was a Jack-of-all-trades and MASTER OF ALL. We were all born with a camera but dad surely had an eye for art. He was the President of the Reno Photo Club and his eye was past down to my brother Jeff, who became a Master of outdoor portrait photography. My daughter Sierra Mills, also has grandpa's eye. Dad was in the Navy aboard the WASP and met mom in Fallon, Nevada at the Navy Base. They were stationed in California and after he left the service he became a Master Sergeant in the Reno, Nevada Air Guard. I loved seeing him in his dress uniform. Although we were hardly rich, dad provided us with a camp trailer, fishing boat and big cars and trucks for all those great vacations. We always looked forward to camping for weeks at Camp Richardson in beautiful Yosemite each summer. My father passed away writing for Social Security Reform. He was an inventor, builder, mason, landscaper, rock hunter, fisherman, you name it....my dad did it and did everything with perfection. We miss him so much.
