Rest in Peace dear lady. Your restaurant was a jewel on our West Side and I think of it fondly ever time I sit in the beautiful library that now occupies it's former location. My uncle tended bar there happily for many good years. God bless all..

My condolences at the loss of your Mother. What a beautiful lady who had a wonderful life. Your parents were a beautiful couple. I have many fond memories of the Boulevard Inn. As a child, my parents would take us one Sunday a month for a special dinner after Mass. It was so elegant. I have an original menu but not sure of the year. Some prices listed are 75 cents for shrimp cocktail, $4.00 for T-bone steak. My friend found in an antique store. I was so excited to see it. I now am the proud owner. I have printed this notice and will add to the menu. I am so happy to have the complete history of a marvelous part of my life. Thank you to your parents.
God' blessings to you all during this sad time. Jackie Pechacek Hornada
