Lorraine, my brother and I loved when we went to visit Gram and Tim and Jack were there. This was around the time when Mark and I were in grade school and Timmy and Jackie were in high school.Tim used to rough house with us and we had a great time. Jack was older and more reserved but Tim was such a blast.He loved to agitate my brother. Mark always fell for it and fought back. I was more like Jack and tried to steer clear but some how always got into the mix. If Joey and Eddy were there it was bedlam. I think Gram would have a wine or something. I'll never forget times with him at Grams. We all loved his wit and good nature. He was the salt of the earth. He will surely be missed. Thinking of you and your family. May God bless you during your time of deepest sorrow. Cousin Rich, Stephanie's son, Lititz, PA.
