Birthday remembrances Bob Dalpiaz

Happy Birthday to your Dad today!  Early June seems like such a nice time for a birthday--the weather is usually nice and kids are looking forward to the end of the school year.  Being heavily pregnant in the late spring seems to have it all over being heavily pregnant in the late summer!  Continuing the the them of randomness, here are some images to help celebrate your dad's birthday:

Time Magazine cover from June 4 1928

Front page of a newspaper that was probably available to the Dalpiaz clan June 4 1928. Take note of the article in the bottom left corner about how a judge decided upon custody of a toddler.

"Bobby" is about 5 here with Tommy Lessie

Your mom, dad and Aunt Mary "On the Home Front"

Apparently the Bellmore house. Notice the Dalpiaz men are the only ones in chairs.
Early 1950s
No tribute to your Dad would be complete without a reference to this!
Under the hood probably a decade later
Very proud Dad
1993 Easter

Your Dad was always very kind to me and I appreciated his humor and faith in me.  Still missed after all these years.

PS:  Just in case you weren't aware, you can click on the image for a bigger version.  This will be helpful with the newspaper articles especially.

Thank you, again for putting that together. Mom looks terrible in that picture from the early 50's .I don't think she looks happy and I have never seen her so skinny.
