I guess after 46 years he has learn to accept you. Otherwise he wouldn’t have mugged it up for the camera. Nice going by the both of you.
Thanks Frank - we got along great, and I miss him.

Great portrait, Bill. Pop looks like quite a character. 
Thanks Annie for the nice comments and I'm glad you liked it. You are absolutely right about Pop being a character, and we still tell his many stories.

Einreb - a pretty girl is powerful motivation for a young guy, and I was no exception.

If he yelled, "Jump!" I would yell, "How high!" Nice photo.
I'm glad you liked the picture Bigmike1 - it's one of my favorites. Your comment made me laugh (because it's so close to being true)

Me too poprock48 - especially since I married that very pretty Italian girl.

More like Brando to me. Perhaps a New Jersey Don. Looks a lot like the men in my family. Nice image any way I look at it. Thanks.

I'm glad you liked it Zario. I think Pop would have been more okay being compared to a Don than Brando, but I think either one fits pretty well.

Raymond - for sure. Imagine meeting Pop the first time you go to pick up your date

I really enjoy the image and the story. Even though he looks very intimidating, and I can only imagine putting my self in your place as a young man interested in his daughter, I can almost see him breaking into a grin. And he has huge hands as you said. What did he do for a living?

Hi fergmark. It's almost like you know him. He was always smiling, and knew a ton of jokes (most of which were off color). Aside from playing bass with his country western band known as the "Shed House Trio", he worked as an exterminator.

He would look even scarier if the photograph was converted to B&W. Good portrait!
