Sunday is Fathers Day – a day intended to celebrate what our fathers mean or have meant to us in our lives. Words can never adequately express my feelings for my own dad and the boundless admiration I have for him.

My father’s example taught me much of what I believe about life. Among the lessons I learned were: actions really do speak louder than words, true generosity has little or nothing to do with money, it’s OK to admit you don’t know something as long as you’re willing to learn, a person’s worth can’t be measured by their social status or wealth, always try to do your best at whatever task you undertake … the list is endless.
