LEMONT, IL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Lemont, meet Alan.
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 the Papiernik kids who nominated Alan of Lemont.
What makes your dad extra special?
Our dad is the most caring and helpful person I know. If you need help, you can bet your butt he’s going to be there. He always has a joke to make and advice to give.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
My dad is always there for his people. He truly values the relationships he’s built in the community and our family.
Happy Father’s Day to Alan, and thank you for all you do!
