I've got his chin and jaw line, but they're kind of hidden under an overweight man's face. When I was a kid we looked alike, but as I got older I took more after my Irish mum's side.
When dad gained weight due to cancer medication though, the resemblance came out again.
As for my brains, nah. I never took to coding and computer science, I'm more of a creative. While my dad was a whizz with DB2 databases and mass migrations of data (which once upon a time he was paid handsomely for), I've chosen the path of a VFX compositing artist.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I posted another comment with a link to a few more pictures of him over the years.

My dear old dad in likely the 1970s. I found this photo while packing for a move and I was struck by his incredible hair and impeccable style. As you can tell, my dad was an absolute rock star, both in the world of fashion, and computer science/programming.
After finding more and more pictures of him through the decades, I can only hope to be half as fashion conscious as my dad. What a dude.
Sadly, he passed away at the very end of February, 2022. RIP Mullet Mike.
(He cut down the lion-esque mullet a bit entering the 80s and added a rockin' stache. By the mid 80s, his mullet was gone, but his moustache remained.)
