Happy Feast of St. Joseph!

My father, Robert Tremblay
As I said in my last post I am a woodworking (my hobby) and today is one of my favorite celebrations.  Not only is St. Joseph the patron saint of woodworkers but he is also the patron saint of fathers.

Frankly, I miss my father.  He died over 10 years ago and I can say that he was tremendously influential in the man that I am today.  As a child I used to follow him everywhere and "help" him fix things around the house.  I learned much of my mechanical and "fix it" abilities from him.  

St. Joseph is a wonderful saint.  His life is basically the same life that almost everyone in our world leads.  Family, a difficult job, and faith were the things that were important to him. He was a good and hardworking father who loved his son and his wife.  I think we need more men like that in our world today.

  1. Just want you to know, that Joseph, my father, would be so happy that some of his tools ended up with a man like you. He was a hard working man devoted to his wife and kids who left just a little too soon... I am happy knowing that someone else can enjoy his tools and use them with the same passion that he did...
