Condolences and prayers go out to the Gorenflo Family.
The Gorenflo's and Zaffram's have a long history. My father first rented from Oscar a store for his retail hardware and an apartment upstairs. Around 1960 he moved the hardware across the street to 1369 Jefferson. I believe Oscar was his landlord there also.
Over the years we continued to interact with Billy and his Dad. Crazy Emil would call on us for wholesale trade.
I could go on and on. Such good memories.
I still have a Gorenflo mailbox on my house. "A Touch Of Brass" provided by the next generation.
Our prayers and best wishes go out to the Gorenflo Family.
Sincerely,
The Zaffram Family
