'Truly Incredible' Lacey Dad 'Puts Everyone First Before Himself'

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 Anthony Detore.

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 Stephanie Detore who nominated Anthony Detore of Lacey.

What makes your dad extra special?

He is the best dad to our baby girl Madilynn. Anthony is caring, sweet, silly, smart, loving and hard working. Thank you for going to work at the crack of dawn to bust your butt to help support our family . We love you and thank you for everything you do for us! Happy 1st Father’s Day Anthony!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Anthony deserves the spotlight because he puts everyone first before himself. He would give you the shirt off his back. When we had our daughter back in September 2022, I got very sick and he didn’t even blink and did everything and anything for me . He took care of our baby girl at night while I was in the hospital in the ICU for a week and spent all day with me. He is truly incredible!

Happy Father’s Day to Anthony Detore, and thank you for all you do!
