never once raised his voice. It was the look that he gave you that scared you straight.

He didn't have to -- the glint in his eyes and the tone of his voice were enough to keep us in line!

And he also had "the look" that would freeze you in your path....Dad was respected growing up - he worked hard and was the disciplinarian.....I didn't really appreciate the kind of parent he was until I was a parent myself

I don't ever remember my dad hollering at me, but when his voice took on a stern tone and he looked displeased I knew I better watch my step.

It takes a great deal to get my Dad pissed off, but once he reaches that point, you had better take cover.

I can't imagine a dad who didn't...and I always made sure I didn't do anything to get hit. I saw him hit my brothers. And oddly, Dad was the one who insisted on proper table manners. If you were old enough to sit at the table, you were old enough to do it properly!

my dad was one of the nicest men I ever knew - he was intelligent, gentle, loving, and a kind man. I can't imagine him ever yelling.

My dad was the nurturing parent, my mother the disciplinarian and yelled daily. I miss both of them know, but my died much too young - age 48 and I still cry over our loss. He left five kids at home, the youngest only turned 13 two weeks before he died.

Love you Mama and Daddy

Thanks - but it's life. I miss him terribly but I know he is in heaven. He was a VERY good man. He converted to Catholism when I was in the 8th grade and I will never forget the Sunday he received his First Communion. I remember a woman sitting behind me (who knew our family, but didn't know of his conversion) leaned over when he got up to receive communion and said "you must be so happy". We all were.

an add on to my previous comment. Daddy died 11 days before JFK was asassinated. The two will forever be intertwined in my memory. That was a very sad November for my family. Maybe that's why this question really hit me so hard, 11/12 is the anniversay of his death and I always feel melancholy around this time of year.

Answered: yes, he hollered
everybody gets a little overwhelmed from time to time
although many times when we were really young he would always come apologize to us after he punished us
it really broke his heart to hurt our feelings
my mother just didnt care
