    hahhaahha I remember him talking about that! It was "Bigger" and some called him "Bigs" Thanks so much to everyone posting here. I really didn't know what to expect but, keep checking the board throughout the day and smile with each comment. It really feels like I found him somehow. We used to have our feuds.. like most families. I am a very strong, independent girl and we often bumped heads but, we were more peas and carrots than anything else. He was always on speed dial when anything dramatic happened to me... which was pretty much daily And, he always gave great advice.

    One place I want to see when I go is this bar that is floating out in the water. He said they cook this fish something on hot coals (he's a big foodie, if you didn't know... he used to rave about how cheap and good and healthy he could eat on the side of the road in Jamaica) in this hut. And, the only way to get there is by boat. I have some pics somewhere... have to find them. He also loved Catcha... something or other a hotel. I remember the first time he revisited since the 70's I sent him a bottle of rum and fresh fruit to his room and he was so happy to make a cocktail upon arriving then hit the beach first thing. He swore his joints and his eye sight improved with each visit... but, I don't think it was the rum

    Sounds like the Pelican Bar - they cook the fish & lobster in hubcaps. Does this look familiar?

    So sorry for your loss, when you visit Jamaica I'm sure your dad will be there with you...
