Stratford Dad Is 'Funny, Always Joking & Has Amazing Advice'

STRATFORD, CT— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Stratford, meet Michael Shirra.

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 Marissa who nominated Michael Shirra of Stratford.

What makes your dad extra special?

He’s not my father, he’s been a stepfather to my daughters. I could not have asked for a better human being to come into their lives. He’s funny, always joking, drives them crazy, always makes sure they know how special they are, is always there for them on a whim and has some amazing advice. He is loved beyond words and we want him to know how special he is. We LOVE YOU MICHAEL♥️

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He’s stepped in where he didn’t have to without question. He fits just like a glove.

Happy Father’s Day to Michael Shirra, and thank you for all you do!
