BERKELEY, NJ— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Berkeley, meet Joseph Reid.
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 Arriyana, Ayden, and Caitlyn who nominated Joseph Reid of Berkeley.
What makes your dad extra special?
He works his butt off everyday and still makes sure to attend all of our sports games and practices. He is also always there for us when we need him. We are lucky!
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
We feel like our dad deserves the spotlight because he is truly one of a kind. He always makes us smile and laugh and he loves to joke around. He is the best!
Happy Father’s Day to Joseph Reid, and thank you for all you do!
