Jeff Phillips, Barrineau Park

My Daddy Jeff Phillips is very special to me. These are my reasons.
He plays with me, he teaches me, and I think he is cool.
One of my reasons that my daddy is special is because he plays with me. He plays softball with me all the time. He even helped coach my team one time. Sometimes we play baseball outside its really fun. I love my daddy because he plays with me that is what makes him special to me.
My second reason my daddy is special is because he teaches me. He teaches me to do the right things, and its really important that I learn to do the right things. He helps me keep my grades up because I want to be in a good school. Plus I also need a good education and I am sure he will help me while I go into new grades.
My third reason why my daddy is special because I think he is cool. I think he has a cool job. He works on boats and I think that is awesome and he also does alot so we can have our house and pay the bills. I also think he is cool because I love him and he loves me.

Let me tell you about my dad. First, he plays Chinese Checkers with me. I am not good at it. He wins all the time.
It’s funny sometimes that I move my marble the wrong way.
Next, he teaches me how to play guitar. He teaches me a hard note.
I can’t even remember it. I can’t do it, but I can play the easy notes and sing a song.
Last, my dad helps me ride my bike. Sometimes I stay up for about two minutes.
That made me feel good. When he lets go of the bike, I fall down and get hurt on my hand, but not anymore. I’m getting gloves.
That is why my dad is special.

Randy Smith
He’s is the best dad ever. He goes and makes money for shopping money for food. He loves us so very much. My dad’s name is Randy Smith. I love you daddy.
John White, Century

My daddy is such a special person. He has always been so unselfish giving of himself to be there for our mother and us children. Just to think of my daddy puts a smile in my heart and on my face.
Growing up I have only good memories of my dad. He worked shift work at the paper mill in Brewton and worked hard to provide for our family. Not once can I remember hearing my dad complain even though I know it had to be a hard job. Daddy retired from the mill after working there 39 years.
Now my daddy stays busy doing honey do’s for my mom and works hard at his church. Every Saturday morning you can pass Beulah Chapel in Byrneville and you will see my daddy faithfully working hard to keep the church grounds and cemetery nice and clean. Once again though, I have never once heard him complain.
When I tell him that I worry about him getting too hot out there doing that, he just smiles and says he does it for the Lord. Everyone that knows my dad knows that when you see him he will make you laugh with his sense of humor. What a special man, I am so blessed to have such a wonderful daddy that I can be so proud of.

Wayne Perry, Molino

We want to wish our Father Wayne Perry Happy Father’s Day. He is the best Father my brother Wayne and I could ask for. He has always been there for us. We can always depend on him no matter what. If he makes us a promise, he always keeps it. He is smart, strong, funny and dependable. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.
We enjoy spending time with our dad. He is fun to just be around. He is always making jokes about things or talking about all the memories he has of us growing up. He is always making memories for us too. It is a treasure to spend time with him. I’m so lucky to be so close to my Father. A lot of kids don’t have that bond with their Father. I don’t see how a kid could not have their Father around. I could not imagine not having mine in my life.
His main goal in life is to make us happy. He always puts us first, instead of himself. He would do and has done anything for us. He tries to make sure we have a safe and happy life. He has made me the strong and independent person that I am. He always makes us feel safe when we are with him.
If you were to ask him how he would like to spend this special day he would be quick to tell you nothing would make him happier than to spend the whole day with his two kids and wife. He always says we are the best thing that ever happened to him. But the truth is he is the best thing that ever happened to us.
If you think that I am a Daddy’s girl, then yes, I am proud to say that I am. We love you Daddy and hope that we make you half as happy as you make all of us.

Happy Father’s Day to my husband, Randy Smith. He provides for not only his child, but my two children that came into the marriage with me and the baby we’ve adopted. He has the biggest heart. He never questions why he should take care of us, he just does it. He never complains about providing for us. He is just always there with “I love you”s. He works the majority of his time in other states, sometimes without days off, months at a time. And he never complains. He makes sure we are taken care of. We love him with all our hearts.
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, Tommy Weaver. He is a great dad. He is a very patient person. He is loved by many. He is a teacher and his students love him. He is not only my dad,I share him with my little brother Toby. And Toby and I appreciate all he has ever put up with from us. And when we were little, that was a lot. I have four children in which my dad spoils them severely. Even though one is a stepchild and the other is adopted he still gives all of them the same attention. He is the greatest.
I hope these two great men have a wonderful Father’s Day!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to Tommy Weaver of Walnut Hill. He is the greatest grandaddy ever. Love Jami, Logan, Megan and Katherine. (He doesn’t know how to tell them “NO”, lol)
Rip Daddy! I love you with all my heart! Wish you were here for me to hug you and tell you Happy Fathers day like i have for the past 21 years. I am so lost without you!!! Wish you could still hold me in your arms and tell me everthing will be ok. I know you have a good Fathers day where you are. Cant wait to see you again. God could not have blessed me with a better Dad! Id give anything to hear your voice again!
In loving memory….Paul Allen Thomas Sr. July 9, 1958–October 27,2009
