'He Gently Guided His Boys': Father's Day Photos

MERRIMACK, NH—Whether it's through his or her personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, a son or daughter often takes on the qualities of the dad who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across New Hampshire to share their "father-son" or "father-daughter" lookalike photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are; they'll always be a chip off the old block.

This photo was submitted by Linda Provencher of her husband Donald Provencher and their two sons, Jordan and Jason. The photo was taken on June 1 right before both boys were going to pick up their prom dates. The family is from Merrimack, NH.

Don is an incredible father. The time and devotion he gives his sons is amazing and heart warming. He has taught and gently guided his boys over the years raising them to be outstanding young men. I could not have wished for a better dad for my boys. Happy Fathers Day to The Best! - Linda Provencher
