Happy Father's Day!


Dad in store, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.

My most favorite photo of my father, taken in the 1940s.
My parents owned a store in Brooklyn, where I grew up. Isn't he good looking?
He loved those little Italian cigars!
~~~
He died in 1994 and I still miss him.....

It's a great portrait! My Dad was born and raised in Canarsie, Brooklyn (me born there, raised on L.I.) and died in 1999 at 87. I miss him too, prolly always will.

What a great picture! I think you have shown it before. I have similar pictures from the 1930's of my grandfather's liquor store in Queens.

The juxtaposition of the canned ravioli and the Tums made me smile.
