Happy Father's Day To James Verrier

ACROSS RHODE ISLAND, RI — 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!

Kara Verrier and Alyssa Derrick submitted the following for dad James Verrier:

Why he is special: He was a very special father and pop pops. Through tough times he held it together to support us all. His grand children is what kept him going all those things Pryor years. While battling cancer and other health issues he refused to miss any of his granddaughters college softball games that were close by which made his heart complete. He passed a couple months before she was asked to sign and play QB in The Women’s professional football League for the Houston Stampede. I know this Father’s Day he is smiling down at us all!

Message: Dad I love you and thank you for always pushing me to be the mother I could be to my giraffes (just kidding) kids. Always here with us.
