13 Things about my (step) Dad

September 3, 2009 by chrisseascorner

Mom & Oz

My step-dad is going into surgery tomorrow to have his heart rhythm fixed, so I’m doing my 13 all about him….

1. His nickname is Ozzy (not “the” Ozzy, but I have to admit it was quite cool to have an Ozzy while I was in school)

2. He grew up in Hingham, Massachusetts

3. In his younger days he played hockey, and drove a Corvette & a Harley.

4. He raised me since the age of 6 or 7, but met & started dating my Mom when I was 4

5. He is very hardworking

6. He is also pretty darn smart

7. He is retired now, but spent his working years as a dedicated union electrician

8. He has lots of hobbies ~ motorcycles, fishing, Nascar and building antique cars.

9. He is quite talented at the building of the antique cars and has won many awards with this talent.

10. As you can see in these pictures:

11. Due to the Nascar hobby & the car building, he goes away on car show & race trips quite often.

At a car show...

12. He is a dedicated husband, father & really loves his grandbabies!

13. Us Virginia people are sending prayers and much love that the surgery goes well & the big heart gets better!

Great post and pictures Chris.
I loved # 13 the best!

Rereading, I’ll say that #12 is as good as 13. He does have a big heart and he does love his grandchildren a lot!

I wish all the best too ! It’s nice to have such a loving stepfather, unfortunately that’s not always the case.

He has four daughters and could have an Ozzie and Harriet show called “Ozzie’s Girls.” Sending him love.

His uncle, who also went by “Ozzie,” wife’s name WAS Harriet.

My husband was an electrician! Best of luck to your dad in surgery.
