The Beatles' Fathers






This Father's Day I want to honor the Fathers and Father figures of the Beatles.     Both Paul and George were raised by their biological fathers.    They were hard-working men that influenced their love of music and helped them become the men they became later in life.       John's father was absent for his life, and so those shoes were filled by his Aunt Mimi's husband, George.    Ringo's father was also absent, however, his mum re-married a kind and loving man, Harry, that treated Ringo like his own son.  Even as an adult, Ringo thought of Harry as his father.    We are thankful for these four men from Liverpool for playing a part in helping John, Paul, George and Ringo become the four guys that we all came to love.

Father's Day!


George and his father, Harry


Paul and his father, Jim 

John and his uncle, George (and dog Sally)


Ringo and his Step-Dad, Harry 



I want to wish all of the Fathers out there a very happy Father's Day!    I usually post photographs of the Beatles and their children, but this year I thought I'd do something a little different and post a photo of each guy with their own father or Father figure in their life.       Each of these men influenced each of the guys and made them into the guys we know and love.    It is so sad that John's Uncle George did not live long enough to see John grow up and become a musician.   However the other three fathers were there and supported their son (or in Ringo's case step-son)'s success.   Have a great day to every Dad that visited this blog!
