When I first started to date his daughter (now my wife of 46 years), Pop scared the hell out of me. He had the largest hands I've ever seen. In this image he's playing it up a bit for the camera.

Hope you enjoy - looks best in download.

Think I would be scared to Bill. Nice shot though.

I have to agree with you, he does not look like he wants to be friends at all. Is this the look you got when your wife first introduced you?

Bill, I'm surprised you even went on the first date. He does look very protective. Good character photograph.

Get him in Goal. He could pick up a football with those mitts.

For sure John. I still remember him losing patience with a bad starter motor, and seeing him throw it over his house. It landed in the back yard.

The fact that he posed for this shot speaks to the caring personality within that gruff exterior. And, yes, that is one awesome "meat hook" he has there.
Wonderful portrait.


Thanks Stlawrence - you summed Pop up perfectly. Glad you liked the shot.

The problem with having a father-in-law, is that someday we become one. And that is scarier...


Isn't that the truth. I know, as I have 3 daughters.

Funny thing was he actually liked me - I think my wife had prepped the road ahead of my visit.

Thanks Bob - when you're young you'll do a lot of things when a pretty girl is involved. Glad you liked the shot.

It is difficult for me to give adequate praise to this portrait as you caught so much of the man and his essence in it. Fantastic image.

I love the look! How cool that he was willing to play up that menacing image for his portrait!
