Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Austin Brown who nominated Michael Brown of Joliet.

What makes your dad extra special?

He is the best breakfast chef in the neighborhood by far and also is known as "Mailman Mike" to many as his postman skills are unmatched.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He loves reading the Patch and I think him getting the spotlight would make his year.
