'Most Thoughtful Young Man': Father's Day Photos

WOODSTOCK, GA — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, sons become a reflection of the man who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Georgia to share their "father-son lookalike" photos. Even if you don't look that much alike!

It doesn't matter how old the kids are — they'll always be your babies!

Woodstock resident Jennifer Lizza sent us this photo of her husband, Mario Lizza, and their son, Tony.

"My son, my buddy and my best friend," Lizza said. "Tony is always making us laugh and is the most thoughtful young man. Tony and I enjoy watching sports (especially soccer) and playing games against each other on Xbox."

Happy Father's Day, Mario!

Sam Mullins and his son "share a love of cars and trucks." This photo was shared with us from the pair in October 2017 at BJ Reece Orchard in East Ellijay.

Happy Father's Day to you, Sam!

Tony Lopez of Kennesaw also shared this photo of himself and his father, Anthony Lopez, which was taken in November 2017 in Palm Springs, California:

We are wishing the Lopez men the very best Father's Day!

Fellow Woodstock resident Rebecca Thornton has also submitted a photo of her husband and son, Chad and Carter Thornton. This photo was taken in January 2018.

Happy Father's Day to Chad Thornton!
