Donna and Family Members,
It was a true honor and privilege to have known and worked next to a person I would call a true friend. Although we haven't seen one another for quite some time, every time I pass that house on Electric Ave. when visiting I immediately thought of him. The good times at Manis restaurant on breaks and the laughs we shared will never be forgotten.
