      My father may not have taught me, but was an extraordinary example of:
      humility
      generosity
      integrity
      the importance of thinking before speaking
      putting stuff back where you found it
      taking care of your stuff
      your handshake or promise being as binding as a legal contract
      making wise investments 
      following a dream
           among other things. My dad was a pretty awesome guy.  Would be 100 this month.

        "Life is for the strong!"  Stand up for what is right.  Do your job like it is the most important job in the world.  Respect others.  Love your country.  Love and look out for your family.  Reseach something to the bare bone to find truth.  My dad died last March 2013 from a blood clot in his right leg at 87 years old.  He was the greatest man i ever saw or heard talk. Great orator.

          My condolences, tabber. Your dad taught you some simple truths too many never even hear.

          This would be a good question for around Fathers' Day, in June. I've asked this question before, too.Some of the answers said their father taught them what NOT to do by example.
