Concord Dad Of 8 Taught Children Strength, Independence

CONCORD, NH— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Concord, meet Carroll LaClair.

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 Dawn LaClair who nominated Carroll LaClair of Concord.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad raised 8 children working for the postal service during those years. He has taught me to be a strong and independent person. Life hasn’t always been easy with us kids but he always made sure we knew right from wrong.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

I feel like I never really get to tell him how much he means to me!

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