So sorry for the loss of your husband and father. Although, I never met him, I have heard great things about him from my sister Christine. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Mr.B, so many memories from so long ago.  I know that this man reached out to a boy that could have been lost to the world and showed him patience and tolerance. He took the time even when he didn't have to. For that I am grateful.
 I don't pass Tony's shack in Westbury or hear Polka music on the radio without thinking of him. It's only today that I realize what he gave, shared. What we've lost... My most heartfelt sympathies to you all.
I find comfort in the words, He has prepared a room for each of us and we shall dwell with him forever.
