Everyone who met our father enjoyed him.
He was one of those people who made you think comfortable plus welcome in his home.
Of course, he had this one side that would joke unmercifully with you if he did not certainly love you. The only thing our mom ever had any reason for getting aggravated with them was that he consistently forgot about the air filters. At least once a year, I remember our mom having to forcefully push him out the door so he could change the air filter on the a/c unit. She did the same thing when it came time to change the air filter on the gas furnace. She reminded him they had to be changed at least every six weeks, even though he was ecstatic if he took the time to do it, once a season. I don’t think why our father was so lax about the air filters, even though I knew it could be a problem. When I married an Heating plus A/C supplier, every one of us often chuckled about our Mom’s lack of decreasing air filters. He told myself and others the importance of needing a scrub air filter in the Heating plus A/C system. He explained how lack of airflow could cause damage to the a/c component and/or the gas furnace. My husband was quite diligent about decreasing our air filters, plus I never had to remind him. I just wish it had been the same case for our mom. She often told myself and others he felt love he got nothing done except remind our father about decreasing the air filters in the Heating plus A/C system.
