Please accept my sympathy on the death of your Dad. He and your mother were supportive parents at SCHS. The three of us were NJ natives and shared great memories of the Jersey shore at a gentler time!

Uncle George – when I think of him, I picture him laughing after telling a corny joke and us all laughing with him. While his sense of humor (which thankfully has been passed down to his children!) is such a strong memory, I realize there is so much more to him: his quiet strength, his patience, his love of his family, his kindness. He is so much a person to emulate. I will miss you, my godfather and wonderful uncle.
