I’m so sorry that your dad is gone. Thanks for sharing more about him. I was right. He had it going on.

Tall, with the chiseled jaw, perfect teeth… His smile says it all. Your dad had it going on.

My dear old dad in likely the 1970s. I found this photo while packing for a move and I was struck by his incredible hair and impeccable style. As you can tell, my dad was an absolute rock star, both in the world of fashion, and computer science/programming.
After finding more and more pictures of him through the decades, I can only hope to be half as fashion conscious as my dad. What a dude.
Sadly, he passed away at the very end of February, 2022. RIP Mullet Mike.
(He cut down the lion-esque mullet a bit entering the 80s and added a rockin' stache. By the mid 80s, his mullet was gone, but his moustache remained.)

The photo was posted yesterday on r/pix. I thought it was cool and hunted up the background.

Lather on the baby oil girls , the darker and crisper the skin, the better. (We didn't even know the meaning of SPF back then.)

Are we related? I’m of some Lithuanian descent and from New England. How many of us can there be?

Looks like Sammy has his eye on your mom.

Big question is do you still have the fire engine?

That's nothing. In my younger years, I won Ms. Upper Peninsula of Michigan in Botswana 🇧🇼

Looking at this again, he also made those scales behind us. I had it at my office for many years, I wonder where it is now?
