'Star Wars Fans, Just Like Their Dad': Father's Day Photos

FRAMINGHAM, MA—Whether it's through his or her personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, a son or daughter often takes on the qualities of the dad who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Massachusetts to share their "father-son" or "father-daughter" lookalike photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are; they'll always be a chip off the old block.

Karen Coutu sent in this photo of dad Todd Coutu with Luke, 11, Jake, 14, and Makenzie, 11, Coutu, in a shot taken in February at Walt Disney World. The family resides in Framingham.

Just like their dad, our two boys are huge Star Wars fans, gamers at heart, and lovers of science. It's not unusual to hear all three topics intertwined in one conversation around here. Our daughter also shares these interests, and is artistic and crafty like her dad. - Karen Coutu
