On this episode of Our American Stories, Bruce Paddock remembers his life in two chapters: BD and AD, Before Dad and After Dad. When his father died young, the loss reshaped everything, from the way he viewed family and purpose to the path he would eventually take in his own career.

In this deeply personal tribute, Bruce reflects on grief, memory, and the enduring influence of a father whose life and death continued to guide him long after he was gone.
