To my brother Bobby,
Thank you for all the times you helped me write the managerial papers for UNC.
When I needed your help you were always there for me. A mentor, a councillor and friend.
We were a band of brother's. Albert, Robert (skully), Bobby Palladino, Bobby Nickerson and Paul. What good times we shared with one another at Bids Tavern and the Elks on Friday night playing Poker. Always with our families together especially during the holidays.
We loved one...

As a young boy visiting the Nickerson's in Waterford, I remember there being a long plastic tube in the high grass field behind the home. Jim and I were calling Sam! Sam! In one end. We would laugh so hard knowing Sam their pet begal was being tricked into looking and howling for us at the other end. Entering the home, seeing aunt Jean (pitit) and uncle Bobby, a seamly giant, I thought to myself, they need to get a bigger house. After that move the visits continued, Smith Ave, Gales...

Entering the home and seeing Ant Jean...
