1. I don't know (he died when I was 7). I think he was strong, and kind, and mellow. He had a great smile, and I think he laughed plenty. He loved to cook, and he knew how to build things. He was a pilot in the AF and a math teacher when he retired. He liked his drink (or so I'm told) but never overdid it. He had a strong sense of responsibility, but wasn't too serious.
2. Since I only know the positives... all of them. He and my mom were well-matched partners, and parented us well, as a team. I think that's important. In my house, there weren't any limits on what we could do - the men cooked, the women fixed things, but that was only today. Tomorrow, they switched. I want that sort of well-roundedness in my house too.
