Dads of the Year

Cornel G.

Nominated by Amy G.

** OUR 2006 DAD OF THE YEAR WINNER!! ** 

 

My husband is the GREATEST!

He has truly risen to the occassion; totally selfless. I am an Air Force reserve pilot and had to leave for 6 weeks of training. I'm otherwise a stay-at-home Mom. Cornel is an airline pilot w/a VERY demanding schedule. He's surpassed all my expectations in caring for our 9 m old daughter, Gwendolyn, while I am gone. It's not easy and he has had to sacrifice all of his free time when he's home (my parents cover the days he's away). Cornel is sweet, attentive, playful & loving- he loves being w/his daughter!

Matt D'Arrigo

Nominated by Hulya D'Arrigo
He should be nominated because he is not only a father to our 7 months old baby, but also took the fathership role to his ex-wife's son for 12 years and continues to be. He has such a big heart and so loving, caring, creative and so much fun to be around. Great song writer for our daughter. love him a lot.

Michael Farkas

Nominated by Roxanne Farkas
Michael should be nominated because he is the most caring loving husband and dad. He always helps me with domestic chores and loves to bond with our new born son Myles. He is a fantastic dad.

Michael Nguyen

Nominated by Maddy Nguyen
My daddy is the greatest dad. He works during the weekend so that he can stay home with me during the week while my Mommy goes to work. I am so lucky that I don't have to go to daycare. My Daddy takes care of me, clean house, and do all the laundry. He is a super Dad. He works full-time also.

Todd Philips

Nominated by Liz Philips
Todd is truly the "parent of the year" in my book! He and our son have their special routine each morning... Todd makes him a spinach and egg omelet and off they go to preschool where Todd is one of the few Dads that shoulders the entire responsibility of drop-offs and pick-ups. Todd is also the only person in world that can make our son laugh deep "big boy" belly laughs!
