I never knew my Father personally. He died when I was 16 months old. Mom remarried a year later to a scotsman bachlor farmer that was a friend of my Father's. He took my older sister and I in as his own. Once I got thru the hard headed young boy phase and Dad go over the kids can't think for themselves attitude, we got along just fine. The final clincher was at the time I was 18 years old, Dad put me on the company checking account and went off to Alaska for 3 weeks to hunt for caribu. In the meantime I cut a check for a new John Deere 310A backhoe we had looked at a few weeks before. (dealer needed to move it and gave me a price I couldn't walk away from). Dad about had the big one when he got back, but conceded that it was a heck of a deal. I still have the backhoe but Dad has been gone 6 years now. Even though Dad raised me, I always seemed to live the legacy of my Father and Dad knew I often struggled with living in my Father's shadow. A few of Dad's last words were 'your Father would be proud of what you've become'.
