CUMMING, GA— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Cumming, meet Russ Hollingsworth.
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 Melissa Lagoo who nominated Russ Hollingsworth of Cumming.
What makes your dad extra special?
He’s a Vietnam veteran with a Purple Heart, he has loved and cared for my mommy for over 30 years, he’s a pillar of strength and we love him very much! He’s a legend!
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
He deserves it because he is who he is. He deserves to know we love and care for him deeply.
