My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string players in our town. He could not read music, but if he heard a a few times, he could play it.

Occasionally, Dad get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along.

Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others, he would, his family. He was always there, his time and efforts to see that his family had enough in their life. I had to into a man and have children of my own I realized how much he had sacrificed.

I joined the United States Air Force in January of 1962. Whenever I came home leave, I would ask Dad to play the mandolin. Nobody played the mandolin like my father. He could your soul with the tones that came out of that old mandolin. He seemed to when he was playing. You could see his in his ability to play so well for his family.

In August of 1993 my father was with inoperable lung cancer. He chose not to receive chemotherapy treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life in . About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He but said "okay”. He knew it would probably be the last time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few notes. When I looked around, there was not a eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet humble man with a (n) strength that comes from knowing God, and with him in one's life. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. We felt at the time that he wouldn't have enough strength to play, and that makes the of that day even stronger. Dad was doing he had done all his life, giving. Sick he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!
