MARLBORO-COLTSNECK, NJ— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Marlboro-Coltsneck, meet Dave.
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 Jack who nominated Dave of Marlboro-Coltsneck.
What makes your dad extra special?
My dad always coached my teams, he loves Tony Robbins, he is a walking motivation for the family. He took me to the Celtics game 7 last night and woke me up at 3:30 am to make it to my internship on time. He woke me up with "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen. singing it horribly.
He just texted me saying that I “party with the owls but have to soar with the eagles”
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
Because he is the man. I look up to him more than anyone else.
Happy Father’s Day to Dave, and thank you for all you do!
