ST. PETE, FL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. St. Pete, meet Bill.

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 Katherine who nominated Bill of St. Pete.

What makes your dad extra special?

Not only is my amazing dad 87 years old and still a full-time tax accountant, but he truly has never met a stranger. He goes out of his way to help anyone that needs it. His giving heart is just enormous. He tells the best jokes and has the gift of storytelling (and plenty of amazing stories to tell).

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He does so much to make other people's lives better without ever asking for acknowledgment. He deserves a very public "You are amazing!"

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