'Witty & Charming' Fredericksburg Dad Is Kids' 'Biggest Cheerleader'

FREDERICKSBURG, VA— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Fredericksburg, meet Tom Hunt.

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 Trey Paroongsup who nominated Tom Hunt of Fredericksburg.

What makes your dad extra special?

He's funny, witty and charming. His texts are upbeat and motivational as well. He's a stepdad, uncle, and father to eight of us.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He makes sacrifices so we can have a bright future. There are three of us about to enter college, three currently in college, and for the two of us not attending college, he's the biggest cheerleader for our careers. He knows happiness is the priority and teaches us to have a balanced life.

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