“The Day My Father Died Was One of the Best Days of My Life”
With a title like “The Day My Father Died Was One of the Best Days of My Life,” you would expect John Ingrisano’s 50-page booklet to be real mean downer of a book. If so, you will be pleasantly surprised.
The premise: Fathers aren’t always all that good at … well, at being fathers. Some are terrific. However, many struggle, leaving scars their children can bear for a lifetime. As the author points out, it does not have to be that way.
“The Day My Father Died” tells the true story of Ingrisano’s determination to build a relationship with his father … whether his father liked it or not. Told with candor and honesty, this is a touching story of redemption that candidly discusses the all-to-common disconnect between fathers and their children … and how one man stubbornly decided to change that relationship.
Starting with the most selfish of intentions (“I decided that I did not want to feel guilty at his funeral.”), Ingrisano set out on what became a decades-long quest. In the end he learned that it is very often our fathers who need our patience, our forgiveness, our compassion and our love the most. He also found a relationship he never really expected to discover.
“The Day My Father Died” is about healing, and it is dedicated to fathers, “especially those who do not take naturally to the role.”

For more than 30 years, John has been writing, teaching and holding workshops about money management and its role in relationships. “Money is a part of many decisions between couples,” he tells audiences, “from whether to buy chicken or beef; whether to go out to the theater, rent a DVD or just watch television; or whether to take a vacation to Disney World or spend the time working around the house.“How couples handle those decisions can make the difference between household harmony … or pure hell. My goal is to help couples and individuals improve their relationships by improving their money management skills.” A popular lecturer and workshop leader among church, civic and community groups and businesses seeking to provide “financial wellness” programs, John is available to work with your group or organization.
