Not sure what to say?

My family the D'Ambrosio;s lived across Longacre Blvd. in Yeadon, Pa. from the Greco family. I remember their cabin in the yard which once Toby,s boa constrictor resided. You had the largest angel fish I have ever seen! Toby Jr. was a great shot with a water balloon flung from the large tree at the roadside. I respected your family greatly as you provided me a role model to follow. It worked as I went to Penn State after military service and a long career with the Dept. of Agriculture....

Dr. Greco delivered all 4 of my children and all 8 of my sister's children in the 1950's. He was also a neighbor boy. I remember when he was attending Temple and walking past the home where I was growing up and he would be carrying his books under his arm. Later he became one of the most important people in my life. I truly loved that doctor and felt that next to God came Dr. Greco. There will never be another one like him. He was special.

I will always remember the converstions we would have when no one else was around. He would talk about the past, present and future, always very greatful for the life he had.I will always remember driving in the car to Erin"s wedding rehersal singing quite loudly... Frank Sinatra's greatest hits. He really made me laugh !

Dottie & Toby's 50th Anniversary

I remember one Christmas when I was alone and between marriages and he brought a small decorated tree over to my house . It was a beautiful gesture and cheered me up !

Debbie your mother was my cousin. the first time I met your dad he had come to visit my parents in Long Beach, NY. It was in April and it was unseansonally hot. Your Dad wanted to know if he could go for a swim. I said the water is to cold. Well he decided to jump in and he immediately jump out it was only about 55 degrees.They later came back during the summer and enjoyed a day at the beach.I will always have fond memories of your Dad, love Tom

Ocean City~Toby's 90th birthday

I was one of the many who sat with you & your family on the 41st St. beach in Ocean City.
In the beginning, there were so many of us. And eventually "our crowd" became smaller and not as much fun...
I watched all of you play sand darts together and envied how well you got along. There was no doubt how much "Dottie and Toby" loved those two girls of yours, Debbie!
We, who remain, miss the fun days when the "Grecos" entertained us and made us laugh. Dottie always had candy, fruit and...

Hi Everyone~

I am extremely behind on just about everything these days but promise that I will eventually be in touch with everyone who has contacted me.

I just received a gracious letter of thanks from Senior Community Services regarding the donations that have been sent by many of you in memory of my father. Thank you so much for honoring him in such a special way!

I'm not sure if many of you know it, but I was employed by Senior Center at Home as the program assistant...
