Not sure what to say?

I don't think my last one went through. This is my Uncle Bozo, my dad, Jim Mills uncle. I remember as a little girl spending a lot of time in Vesuvios while my dad and Uncle Bozo talked and joked. I adopted Uncle Bozo. He was a great man, even at a young age I was able to recognize that! I remember going to his apartment and everything was red! I thought it was so beautiful and for some reason even though it was small it reminded me of a palace! Red everywhere! I never did keep in touch...

This was my Uncle Bozo. He was my dad's uncle. I remember as a little girl going to vesuvios many many times with my dad. I absolutely adored my Uncle Bozo. I remember going to his apartment and everything was red. I thought it was so glamorous as a little girl. My father passed in 2002 and i didn't know how to stay in touch with Uncle Bozo. We moved a lot when I was younger and didn't know how to keep in touch with anyone. I do know i adored this man. R.I.P Uncle Bozo.

Bozo, I miss you so my dear friend, I loved our talks and smoking and mixing drinks, say hi to my dad Bo I´m sure you guys a hanging out.. your one of a kind... don´t worry I´ll play your birthday like I always do... Pisces are the best. Luv u, pina

My sincere condolences to "Bozo's Family...
I never forget one night when I first started performing at Vesuvius Restaurant.... Bozo was bar tending as usual and place was starting get close to when Bozo wanted to close, which was 12am.... He made "last cal" at around 11:30pm.... so I said to him "Bozo my friends don't go out till late and your making last call.... He said, "too bad kid, tell your friends to come in earlier"....lol
Rest in peace and one more for the road!
