LACEY, NJ— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Lacey, meet Dan Fuge.

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 Adrianna, Jaxon and Charlee who nominated Dan Fuge of Lacey.

What makes your dad extra special?

Our Dad works so hard everyday to give us the best childhood possible! He always puts us first and is front row to everything! He has a bad leg but that doesn’t stop him from anything! He is the king of Dad jokes (bad ones)! He coaches us all in flag football and is the first to volunteer for anything we need!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Our dad is the best daddy and deserves to be in the spotlight for how awesome he is!

Happy Father’s Day to Dan Fuge, and thank you for all you do!
