Guest Book
The childhood memories "Fats" left with me were numerous and pleasant. Going to Danny's on his day off, then to Hilltop for breakfast with John, over to the N & B office to pick up the train at the scale house, then home to cut the lawn, nights on the patio, his basement for ping pong or pool, or tending bar at the C.W.V. and many more. I am glad I got to see you one more time. RIP Godfather, we will all miss you.

Just saw the passing of "fats". When I was 8/9 years old I would follow him on his mail route. He would go into Rocky´s for lunch. I waited for him outside and he would always come out with a candy bar for me...I am shedding happy tears as I type this. He made you feel special. How ironic that I too became a mail person and now live at Rocky´s! It´s the small things in life that mean the most. Fats, you will always remain in many, many hearts.

Fats was our mailman years ago and I will always remember him smiling and singing as he went from house to house. He always had time to talk with all the kids in the neighborhood and tell them jokes. I will remember him fondly. God Bless you Fats, you were the best!

I have many fond memories of my great uncle Fats. As a child at my grandparents house with all the relatives playing pool. He was always laughing and telling jokes. I still remember a few of his jokes. Later in life after he tired Fats would come to our quarry fishing. It was a very tranquil setting that he absolutely enjoyed. So many memories and until we meet again. My condolences to the family and relatives.
