Did he make mistakes raising his daughters? Yes. Did he always say or do the right thing? No. That's like a real father. His love for his girls took precedence over anything else in his life. All he wanted was the best for Katie, Julie, and Samantha. Despite his being hard-nosed and gruff, he was a very loving and tender father. That is best demonstrated when he let all three of his daughters get in bed with him even though it was so crowded. They wanted to be close to their daddy before the surgery, and that's very touching. The Chief was the kind of father that was able to strike a pretty good balance. If his girls needed to be held and comforted he did that. But, if they needed to be disciplined he didn't hesitate to do that either. That's what being a good father is. I so much respected the Chief.

I agree wholeheartedly! I was glad that the Chief was politically incorrect. He expressed his opinion and did not care what the rest of the world thought. He did the right thing even when the right thing wasn't the easy thing (or popular) thing to do.

He passed away on May 8, 1985, so it's been a little over 22 years, since he's been gone.
