To my Pops, my Grandfather. He taught me so much about life and love. The knowledge and insight he gave me will forever stay with me. I learned so much from him. I thank him for everything he helped me with and for being so supportive of me as I grew. I know that he will be looking down on me as i get older, and i look forward to making him proud.

I lost my Dad who gave me the love of my fraternal father I lost when I was a Child. My Dad John although a stepdad gave me a home, love and the life I needed to grow up. I know I often thought he was hard on me but at his last days I told him how much I loved him and asked him to lecture me one more time. I'll miss him. I know now how great he was.
Love your daugher Jeanne.

I am wondering if this is the father of Jeanne Ferraro who used to work at B & L and moved to So. Calif. for a time. If it is, my heart breaks for you for your loss. My dad, a veteran too, passed away in 1999 and then my mom with cancer in 2004. I would love to hear from you. I used to be Joan Eckburg and I moved back East too.
