We miss Dad today and everyday. We honor him because he was such a wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather.

My Late Grandfather, Jack Marple, was born May 25, 1919. He had to drop out of school in the 10th grade and go to work in the steel mill when his father had a stroke and could no longer work. He was only 15 years old (to work in the steel mill you had to be 16), so his family doctor made a false birth certificate dated 1918 so he could get the job. With the job at the mill, he provided for his 5 sisters, his mother and his father. Now that's what you call "manning up."
