'Best Dad We Know': GA Father's Day Photos, Messages

ATLANTA, GA — While we owe Dad a debt of gratitude every day, Sunday, June 17, is Father's Day. In celebration, we asked for your favorite father-son photos. We received some pictures from readers that looked like dad and his mini-me, and others that show dads and their adoring daughters.

Here are some of our favorites from around the Atlanta area, that Patch readers shared:

Lawrenceville resident Kim Bertram sent us this great photo of her husband, Scott Bertram, and their son, Alex. "This picture was taken in Oulu Finland. My son and husband are so much alike even their body language is the same!"

'A Fierceness About The Withers’ Men': Father's Day Photos

Hiram resident Susan Withers sent us this great photo of her husband, son and grandson – Robert H. Withers, Sr., Jr. and the III. "Robert Sr. (Bob) and Jr. (Rob) are both Marine Corps aviators. My husband flew the F-4 and our son flies the Osprey. We are so very proud of them. My father-in-law was a Marine also. Not sure yet about what "Tripp" will do but as the picture goes to show . . . there's a certain fierceness about the Withers' men."
