Actress Tina Fey has praised her father Donald Fey, who died on October 18, for being a "Great American".
The "Saturday Night Live" writer's father passed away at the age of 82 and the actress has taken the time to remember him not only as a "great" father but for his work as a writer and artist and for serving Korea as a fireman, reported Female First.
"He was a great dad and a talented artist and writer. But I also think of him as a Great American - he served his country in Korea, he served his city as a fireman, he took his kids regularly to art museums and historical sites."
The 45-year-old "Mean Girls" star also remembered a fond memory of Donald teaching her how to play catch.
"When he taught me how to play baseball he would say to me, 'If you throw like a girl again, we're going in.' (I took it in the spirit it was intended.) He read poetry and history and newspapers. He was an informed patriot. The Republican Party should have tried to clone him," she recalled.
