If you know Birmingham history (or Southern history in general), that was a really big deal in those days. His dad was a brave guy.
It must be a southern thing as I referred to my father as daddy until the day he died.
More evidence that it is a southern thing. I grew up in the midwest and last called my father "daddy" as a very small boy. Never thought of calling him daddy after that.
My 8-year-old called me Dad until he turned 3, then switched to Daddy. Refuses to call me Dad. 22-month-old calls me Daddo, which I really dig
