I have a hard time expressing how much I loved my dad..He loved my mother, took on her 3 children, added his one daughter, and together they had 3 more..He loved to shop with us, he enjoyed teaching us important lessons, and he enjoyed telling us a good story..we learned of his Italian heritage, his racecar driving career, his military experience, his dreams, his visions & hopes..we watched as those dreams faded with the death of our mom..he never got over losing her..Dad loved to hear & tell...
