Deb and Gina, I am sorry for your loss. I have some fond memories of "POP" from my early childhood. I can remember him taking me to the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell in PA, a few places in Washington DC. He would always stop at Denny's and he always had a nice new Lincoln Continental. There's a place in everyone's heart for a guy like that, and although we grew apart for a long time I never forgot the places you took me nor the things you taught me along the way at such a young age. I know your in a better place and driving around in the new Lincoln "cloud" continental. My thoughts and prayers are with you Deb and Gina.

Your Father and Ellen were regulars at Donovan's while I worked there during college years. They were wonderful to me and I have such fond memories of them. Before his retirement I had the pleasure of running into him at Macy's. His eye's lit up with his smile and he had quite the fan club following of the store employees. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish I could attend the services to honor his memory but I am on vacation with my family. I will think of him fondly, forever.
