My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.
THE MEMOIR/TRIBUTE
The author shares warm memories of his father.
WHAT I LIKED
I enjoyed the voice of the story. It drew me right in. I felt like I was sitting across from the author on a porch, enjoying a drink as he talked.
POV NARRATION/TENSE
This is told in the first person. Good job with narration. Past tense is used appropriately.
THEME
For me, I picked out the theme of an honest work ethic, and it's that's a character trait which connects with people. It's something to be admired. Though there is a scene where the father sets the son up for $200 fine.
EMOTIONAL BEATS How well does the emotional beat resonate with the reader? Great; Good; Okay.
There were some nice, heartwarming emotional beats in the story. You got a picture of what 'Dad' was like - a hard worker with a good work ethic, who tried to take care of his students, when they needed help. He tried to be a good role model. That steadiness is something a lot of people appreciate.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening drew the reader in. The writing is candid, honest, and sincere.
