Dad was synonymous with his charm and wit and grace, and it was sort of the perfect way to go for him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dad was joyful until the day he died, and I think that joy was deeply rooted in his love affair with God.
I was lucky to have a great dad.
One of the myths about Dad was that he was mean. That simply wasn't true. I always found him generous to a fault but he wasn't reckless with his money, which was rather rare in Hollywood. He'd grown up with nothing and he wasn't about to fritter it all away.
I'm sure there was some part of his soul was intrinsically happy, but he probably had to go through some permutations to really get that to blossom. I'm sure Dad had his challenges, but I think that joy was there from the beginning and he had to find a way to make his life support that and express that.
I think Dad didn't really treat us like children; he treated us more like little adults. We were good kids.
I do think my old fella wasn't much of a... I don't remember him ever being a 'dad' dad. He was too busy working. It was a hard life, man.
I had a great dad and we had a great relationship, but he's still a part of my life.
I'd just like to carry on in Dad's footsteps. I think that Dad's spirit and passion lives in every single one of us.
My dad was a great dad.
Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.
