On Father’s Day, I’m remembering my dad Minor H. Slingsby. He was an important person in my life. In a tribute I wrote about him, I said two of my main interests in life came from him: consumerism and newspapers.
My dad was proud of my accomplishments and me. Although he was a stern and crabby dad when my two sisters and I were growing up, we were able form a good relationship in his later years and enjoy and appreciate each other.
My dad died in 1990 at age 80 from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a lymphatic system cancer. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is linked to pesticide exposure.
I miss my dad very much. I’m thinking about him on Father’s Day and the contributions he made to my life.
Happy Father’s Day to you and your loved ones. If you celebrate the day, I hope it’s going well.
