JOLIET, IL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Joliet, meet William Garcia Sr.
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 Emily Garcia who nominated William Garcia Sr. of Joliet.
What makes your dad extra special?
My dad is always there, no matter what time of day or night. He's always been one to jump up for those who need him, especially his family. My father is 60 years old and still a kid at heart. He's always cracking his silly dad jokes and being a big goofball. He's the world's best dad, and most importantly the world's best grandpa. He deserves all the good in life.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
He deserves this spotlight of appreciation, to just remind him that everything he does, never goes unnoticed. He's one of the most hardworking men I know and never backs down from anything that life has/will throw at him.
Happy Father’s Day to William Garcia Sr., and thank you for all you do!
