| My dad was 51 years old when i was born, he was a truck driver and a real north east cowpoke! he never gave his name to any other offspring but me and i think he had some others! but back in the day the 50s no DNA so who knows? why my mom loved him beats me. she was a smart nurse and could have had many doctors of her choice but dad got her! THE OLD REDNECK!! A JERSEY REDNECK! yah I'm one too like father like son! um lets hope only in way of life not with the same DNA!this man did every thing him self, fix cars plumbing electric work for just a few! ok he was a jack of all trades! now when i was growing up he would do some strange things!! he would turn mad at a drop of the hat! what we did not know he had it!! but in 1980 we took him back up north to visit family in N.J. we had moved him and mom to FLA. IN THE EARLY 70S but the part of NJ he was in was well known to him so when he got lost we knew something was wrong! yes we found him walking about 3 miles from my home and he gave some story of what he was doing "but just a story no fact" then in the early 80s we moved back to FLA near my mom and dad "THAT WAS THE GOOD NEWS" but he went for another walk! 3 days and nights! we had the Tampa tv stations asking for folk to look for him and a Tampa cop found him siting at a bus stop in down town Tampa!he told the cop he was going to my aunts house in Lindhurst NJ! the cop ask him where he was he said "Newark" Newark new jersey! but you see back then we had no help with this thing so we did what we could and he ended up in a nursing home till his passing in 1987. yes there is lots more to this story but this is all i can post now , you see old Joe1904 was my dad! |
