'Superhero' Smithdown Dad Is 'The Best Person I Know,' Son Says

SMITHTOWN, NY— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Smithtown, meet Tommy.

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 Thomas Plante III who nominated Tommy of Smithtown.

What makes your dad extra special?

He is the kind of dad you can always count in. He is there to be your wingman when you need him. He makes you laugh ... and listens when you're venting. He cooks, cleans and fixes things. He is a good person [and] always helps others when he can. He’s the most amazing role model. He’s my superhero.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He's just the best person I know.

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