Happy Father's Day To William Vazquez

EAST MEADOW, NY — Whether it's through their personalities, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the men who raised them.

With Father's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers to share their father-daughter and father-son photos. Happy Father's Day!

Anelis Teneriello submitted the following for dad William Vazquez:

Why he is special: My father was one of the most kindest souls. His love of family. His pride in work. His selflessness. Everyone loved him. No matter what I might have done in my learning years that might not have been and well let’s say correct he always had the purest of heart and wonderful teaching for me. At 56 I am still so great full for the years that I had with my dad. My papi lives in my sons. Especially my youngest who looks like him so much. My heart is always filled with my fathers love. His love of family will forever be imbedded in our entire family.

Message: Missing you eternally. Mowing you are always with me with every breath that I breathe.
