We reminisce about stories from our fathers.
Tom Pluto. When I go to Progressive Field for a ballgame, I often think of him. He never saw the new ballpark, as I still think of it even though it opened in 1994. Our stadium and our Tribe played at the old long-gone Municipal Stadium.
Joe Melody’s father was Tom Melody – a true gentleman and sports columnist at the Akron Beacon Journal during my early days at that paper. About 10 days ago, I was at a Guardians game. I ran into Randy Barle, a friend of his when all three of us worked at the Fisher-Fazio warehouse in Bedford Heights.He smiled. So did I. It was high praise, especially if I could be a man like him.Randy Kula recalls his father Lenny Kula coming straight home from work, not changing and making time for a backyard wiffle ball game with the kids. Randy Kula Family collection.“Our dad’s two priorities were faith and family.
“When the war ended, B.F. Goodrich gave him 90 days to report back to work. In those 90 days, he met and married my mother – and moved to Akron. He was my hero. He taught me how to hunt, fish, golf and how to be a honest man. He died in 1992, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him.”: “My father was from Cape Cod. I visited his hometown with him a few years before he died in 2010. We visited his village’s cemetery, where his name is engraved in a World War II Veterans Memorial.
“My dad was deprived of a loving family unit due to his parents’ divorce. But my dad never allowed this to become a deterrent in his life, nor did it prevent him from loving my mom and each of us with his whole being.”
