Not sure what to say?

rereading the obit. Never a day goes by that i don't think of my wonderful pal "JazzBo" Lots of times at the AZ Inn lounge or drinks in his LR he had a great laugh too. Several times attended the AZ Jazz Festival and the LA Jazz Festival Never to be forgotten

My loving thoughts and prayers to all the Galligan family. My many happy memories o back to when Joe and I first moved in to Polo Village across the street from Larry, Mimi, David and baby Patti.
My love to you all,
Nancy Mascari Whitaker

Reading his obituary flooded me with memories. Some of the best teenage memories involved Dave, Patty and your home: Mary Had a Little Lamb, fixing the dent in the Lincoln, bike rides across town, saving 7-Up cans for a table.

I remember little things about your dad, like saving past phone books for future reference. The one memory I...

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard time.
