In Loving Memory Of My Father, Stan Esson Fine Art America Artist

In Loving Memory of my father, Stan Esson, who passed away one year ago today. I miss you terribly Dad. I think about you every day. I am so honored and lucky to have had such a wonderful father such as you. You were such a sweet, kind and gentle soul: An only son, World War 2 veteran (son of a WWI vet who suffered from Trench Warfare), father of seven, talented artist and loving human being. You were a good man. I always looked up to you and continue to do so. You are always here in my heart and my art. Your art inspired me. You inspired me and set a good example of what it is to be an artist. You were so humble. You were quite the Picasso and always experimented with your art. Never satisfied with what you were doing. Always wanting to explore and learn new things about the Masters and Contemporary artists. I am a lot like you Dad and proud of it. If it was not for your support and work ethic I would not be an artist and the person I am today. You worked hard and supported all of us kids. I miss you so much. You were from the old school and never complained. From the last of the Great Generation. You were a Master Artist and True American Hero. Your art lives on today and inspires everyone. What an inspiration you were and continue to do so today! I know you are watching over all of us, the Essons, and are in a better place. With Much Love and Gratitude, Genevieve

Genevieve, I'm so sorry you lost your dad. Mine is going through the last stages of his life and I'm really NOT ready for him to be gone.

Your art though is so amazing. The one that Floyd posted is nothing short of one of the best works of our time.

I hope you feel your dad is close by in spirit, but if not, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Hang in there beautiful lady and thank you for sharing the tribute to your dad!!

Genevieve, I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in 2003 and still miss him and my Mom, who I lost in 1998, a lot. Your father was a wonderful artist and your tribute to him is lovely.

Thank you Lisa for your kind words and support. Sorry for the hardship you are going through with your Dad. No one is
ever ready for the loss of a parent. It is one of the hardest things to go through, and it just makes our lives
so much more profound. I wish you kind thoughts, prayers and the support you will need for your father.
I am so fortunate to have had such a wonderful father. All I have is fond memories, love in my heart and his amazing
artwork. I do feel his spirit and know he is near. =)

Genevieve, wonderful tribute. I lost my parents within 6 months of each other but they were both in their 90s so it was expected but I still miss them. It's only been three years for my dad and a little longer since my mom left. That's a wonderful rememberance.

Hugs to you Mary!!! Thank you for your kind words and support Mary. So sorry for the loss of both of your parents. That is so heartbreaking. They both lived a long life, that is so wonderful.
I know I see things in a different light since my Dad passed. I just remember all the good times we had together and his love and kindness. It helps me get through my day.
