Uncle Tommy, I feel very fortunate and blessed that my wife and I were able to spend a little time with you, Aunt Rosalie and Rose before our Lord called you home. As I grew older I was lucky to see you maybe once or twice a year but my childhood memories of you will last a lifetime and again I feel blessed to have been able to share some of those with you last week. From the backyard parties, Sunday Dinners, Sunday breakfasts after church, getting me the best possible price on my in dash 8 track players and later cassettes players for my car and helping Uncle Sal do some repairs to my first house in Long Branch you will always be in my heart and memories. Last week I asked you what life time advice you could give me and you said "You're doing all right" and I thank you for that. Until we meet again! You're nephew Duke ❤
