CRYSTAL LAKE-CARY, IL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Crystal Lake-Cary, meet Neil Boyer.
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 Jordan Nutt who nominated Neil Boyer of Crystal Lake-Cary.
What makes your dad extra special?
My dad is thoughtful and funny. Easygoing and methodical. He is everything you need at just the right time. I didn’t realize how hard parenting would be until I became a parent. I partially blame him for making it look so easy all those years ago.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
He is always looking out for others and deserves to be recognized.
Happy Father’s Day to Neil Boyer, and thank you for all you do!
