Dea Mathias Family, My memory of Yogi started with him and his family moving into our neighborhood during our elementary years. He sure brought a lot of life and energy onto Harrison Avenue. We all loved his family although at times I was a little frightened by his father. They didn't stay long but back then we all got along! RIP Yogi
