For the days leading up to Father’s Day, we’ve asked our residents and families to share stories, pictures, and favorite memories of their dads, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who live in our communities. We’ll be sharing them here on our website and on our social media channels in a series we’re calling: Oakmont’s Fantastic Fathers!

Rosemarie W. wrote in to tell us about her biggest supporter and father, Jack J., who lives at Oakmont Manor.

My dad is a true inspiration to me. He has always been my biggest supporter and the one person I could always count on in my life to help me with any problem big or small. He is my hero and my role model and I’m so grateful to have such an amazing, kind hearted, loving and caring dad.

My parents moved back to Michigan from Florida 8 years ago and for 7 of those years I’ve been able to take Dad to see his favorite baseball team play: the Detroit Tigers. We have some wonderful memories – unfortunately this year won’t work out but I plan to take dad in 2021 when he will be 100 years old!

Mary wrote in to wish her father Joe, a resident of Oakmont Manor, a very happy Father’s Day:

Happy Father’s Day Dad! You are a super father, grandpa and great grandpa!

Joe loves to play cards, play wii bowling, play the harmonica, go to the casino, watch Detroit sports teams and spend time with his family! He always seems to have good luck! But I think we are the lucky ones for having him in our lives!

I am proud to say that William R is my Grandpa. He has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. So many of my favorite memories include him- trips to hockey rinks, endless hours of playing cribbage, visits to my college campus, and him playing with my own children. He’s spunky, quirky, ornery, open-minded, and has a great sense of humor!

Tapping spoons is amongst his favorite hobbies, along with offering his cat up for adoption and providing commentary on my cousin’s latest haircut. I love listening to his stories about life before me and his time in the service. He has been married to my grandmother for 74 years and will be celebrating his 96th birthday soon! I am so grateful to have this kind of man in my life and wish him the best Father’s Day!
