This has been a very exciting and hard time for my family. My dad, Tom, a.k.a TR sold his business and retired today. On the one hand it is great because he gets to retire after working at the Locksmith shop since he was in elementary school. He has definitely put in more than enough hard work for a lifetime. I will be forever thankful for his hard work providing for my family. On the other hand, it is very sad because the business has been in our family for over 100 years! It actually started in Holston (or something like that) Germany. For those of you Quad Citians, there will be a nice article in the QC Times from Bill Wandrum tomorrow
. Our family is very excited for my dad and proud of him... it is also hard to let go of a family legacy
. My dad's shop reminds me of cheers. Every time I go down there, my dad has "regular" customers. I swear my dad knows everyone downtown. Everytime someone walks in the door..they say "Hey Tom". I just want everyone to know how special my dad is and if you see him...please congratulate him:)
