My Dad

My dad, Tony was born in 1968 at Auckland hospital. His dad's name was Joe and sadly he passed away in 1991 and his mums name is Gloria who lives in Australia. My dad has one sister and she also lives in Australia. All of his grandparents from his mum and dad's side have passed away. One of his grandparents was his grandad who was his mums dad and he was in the second world war.

My dad's mum's side of the family is linked to the French royalty that does not exist anymore.

My dad is cool and fun. He does landscaping for his job and he is working on our landscape planting lots of palms at the back and front of the house. He is doing a Tropical theme with lots of different tropical palms. We had a top landscape designer, who is a good friend of my dads, that came around to our place where he thinks the palms should go and it so far looks very cool. The guy is top in New Zealand so that was cool on the weekend. My dad taught me how to mow. He got me to mow one of our lawns for the first time, and he said I did very well on the area I mowed. Before doing landscaping my dad worked at one of New Zealand's top golf courses in Auckland and at Eden park.

My dad's hobbies and achievements were karate which he did for 8 years and got to black belt 3rd dan also an instructor. He also has done bodybuilding at the gym for most of his life. Another hobby is he has always owned specialty cars that have been done up and has had one car that won best car in New Zealand at a car show. My dad has always owned and been into riding sports motorbikes and then until recently my mum made dad sell his motorbike which he loved, but he used all the money to pay for all our nice palms but dads ok with it because our garden will look nice now.
