EAST HAVEN, CT— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. East Haven, meet Tony.
If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!
Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Kristin who nominated Anthony (Tony) of East Haven.
What makes your dad extra special?
My dad is awesome because he is the best dance grandpa and the best poppy to his grandkids. My dad is funny, has a wonderful sense of humor and he goes above & beyond for everyone. He is my hero in so many ways.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
My dad definitely deserves to be in the spotlight because of the guy he is. He is generous, thoughtful, spunky and an all-around good guy.
Happy Father’s Day to Tony, and thank you for all you do!
