SCOTCH PLAINS-FANWOOD, NJ— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Scotch Plains-Fanwood, meet John Lohn.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Tiernan Lohn who nominated John Lohn of Scotch Plains-Fanwood.

What makes your dad extra special?

He is very thoughtful and he is always there for me and always wants the best for me. I love him so much and he always congratulates me for all of my accomplishments in school, dance, silks and swimming. He helps me through happy moments and sad moments too. I love him so much and he deserves the best :)

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He is a hard-working dad! He spends time with his classes and with his magazine and he has three daughters too!

Happy Father’s Day to John Lohn, and thank you for all you do!
