I've tried to follow his example as a Dad and one of these days as a Grandpa.
In reality, I've had a lot of practice, as I have a step-grandson who is on the verge of turning 12 and I've know him since he was 2.
Fathers day is always the 3rd Sunday in June and while fatherhood is a huge part of being a guy, there are other parts that are just as important.
A few years ago, I discovered a blog, the Art of Manliness which has daily updates, some of which I repost here.
Now, they are offering a free book of Manliness wisdom:

Download the Lessons in Manliness eBook
Edit: The download link should be working now.
Back in March we did a group writing project here on AoM where we asked readers to submit essays on the lessons in manliness they’ve learned from a man in their life. We received 46 submissions from men who shared stories about the grandfathers, friends, and mentors who have lived lives that showcase the very best in being an honorable man.
I’ve finally put all the submissions into a nicely formatted eBook so that everyone can enjoy and hopefully learn from the lives of ordinary men who have helped pass the art of manliness on to others. At over 100 pages long, it’s pretty substantial for an eBook. And it’s completely free.
So download the FREE Lessons in Manliness eBook now! Please share it with as many people as you want.
I hope you enjoy it, and if you missed out on submitting a Lessons in Manliness essay this time around, we’ll probably be doing this again in a year. So stay tuned.
Finally, a big thank you goes out to all those who contributed to this project. Kate and I really enjoyed reading your submissions and were inspired and touched by the men you wrote about. Thank you for taking the time to honor these men and for sharing their stories with the men of AoM.
