FOOD MAN
-
You guys hear me talk about my Dad a lot on here. Well this was him, and 2 years ago today, we lost him to cancer. He was known as Food Man because he loved to cook and feed people. He would buy and cook food and bring to our town hall and feed all the older folks in the area, usually around 80 people. In the winter, he would make huge kettles of soup and bring it around to the older folks. He is where I got my love for food and all things food related, and more important, how to be a good person. Today when you cook your awesome meals like I know you all do, make a little extra and give a meal to an elderly person in your area who would probably really appreciate it . Thanks for your timekyle
kyle What a great tradition for you to follow.

kyle Thanks for sharing! My dad was also a pretty good cook and growing up I was always confused by the “mom does all the cooking” thing that seemed to be around in some families. Obviously, that is fine if the wife is the one that loves cooking and you don’t but…how can you not like cooking?!
Jonathon My mom did most of the cooking when we were young, mostly because dad worked on the railroad and mom stayed home when we were all young which covered a lot of years (14 year spread from oldest to youngest). Dad was a good cook thou and all of my brothers cook quite a bit.

Dr_Pain he was a good man, and not just because he was my dad. Over 400 people came to his funeral service, not bad for someone who was 71 years old. That really touched our family. I also hope someday my son will think of me the way I think of my ol man
kyle I am still balling here! I was asking my wife last week how many people would attend my funeral. The number she gave me shocked me because I don’t think I have impacted that many people in my life.
I guess I just feel like Private Ryan at the end of the movie Saving Private Ryan who asks his wife “Tell me I am a good man!”
Alright, enough crying this morning

kyle Thanks for sharing this story. He, and a few others that I have had the honor to know of or meet is the kind of man I want to become.
Imagine a society where everyone thought that way. Well, maybe I’ll see something like that in the next life.
If you have the sign hung up, post a picture to help inspire all of us to reach that target.

Chef I don’t have it yet, but I have a feeling at Christmas it will show up under my tree with a slight modification. With all the help and advice you give us all in this community, I would say your already there. Thanks Chef
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

kyle You are very kind. As one gets older, the biggest blessing one can achieve is to impart life experience and knowledge to a younger generation.
Just as there are stages of development for babies and young children, that development continues until the end of life. Those without a poupous will typically deal with a sense of emptiness. Unless one can look back on their life and see that they made a difference, their existence is questionable.

Dr_Pain Interesting,
I figure I would just have my wife and maybe 2 of the three kids, if they were not too busy.
All okay with me, just put the ashes by the big oak tree.

Dr_Pain my dad had planned all the food for his own service. The meal was the important part for him so he wrote down all the meat and sides we were to make, no matter what the cost. My responsibility was to cook and smoke all the meat and make the sauerkraut hotdish…no pressure. With the help of a couple friends and my brother, we pulled it off.

kyle Your Dad sounds like he was a very special guy and kind of person that the world needs more of. I know the older I get, the more I think about all the special things my parents did for others.

That is so freaking cool! I’ll be getting with my lawyer to draw up my living will

I always thought of recording my view of my life with music that told my life story through my eyes to be played at my wake
