And I never knew half of it until he died - he was just my Dad. :)

They were a different generation than us in a lot of ways.

Loogy must have lacked the role model we were lucky enough to have.

There is a reason why Brokaw called out parents generation "The Greatest
Generation". That said, if someone has a history of fabricating
stories in an effort to belittle others, (e the Dr. Dr. Story, where he
made up a MD degree for his wife so he could use her MD degree to
diagnose rec.boats regulars' mental problems) just to boost up his weak
self esteem, the odds are that most of Harry's dad stories are nothing
more than stories.

If you want to know which stories are true, they are the ones Harry
immediately scans and posts photos or proof and/or wants to make a
wager. I would guess that Harry never lived up to his father's
expectations, and that is the reason why he lives a Walter Mitty life.
