Today my dad, Roy W. Faulkner, would be 86 years old!!! Even tho he has been tending Heaven’s garden fo 22 years now, I still contine to hear from past students and friends of his who knew and absolutely loved him and his smile!!! He was a teacher, friend, dad, grandpa, uncle, son, and brother extrordinair!!! Nothing he did went without notice!! He was one in a million!!! His life continues to live on and make people smile!!! Amongst the many other talents and hobbies that my dad had, he also loved to cook! There are two things my dad always had plenty of: fish, and venison! 🎣🦌 If you had any kind of relationship with my dad at all, I guarantee that you have either tasted his fried fish, or his delicious deer or elk jerky, or both!!! Lol! He lived for deer season, and spring break and summers where you could only find him at the river, or on the lake, and for many years, fishing for trigger fish in Mexico!!! He LOVED the outdoors!!!! In the last couple of years I have been given two irreplaceable treasures, one of which I just received from one of his sweet friends just this year: His handwritten and signed beer battered fish recipe, and his famous jerky recipe!!! I knew my dad was a legend, but receiving this news paper clipping with his famous jerky recipe, now that was an all time high!!! The compliments about my dad and the way that he continues to inspire and live on thru those who loved him 22 years later just continues to astound me!!! For his birthday this year, I am sharing these two gifts with you!!! You too will be inspired, I guarantee it!!! Happy birthday Dad, Pappa Roy, and Sir!!! You are very very loved!!!! 😘👩🌾✍️🎣🦌🛶⚓️❤️
