I will always remember his energy, humor and kindness. Kathy, last summer my husband and I were able to meet you and your boy (part of the greek wonderful dancers) at St. Andrew's picnic in July. I will remember that good day, with more meaning now, as I was able to see all of you, since I live far away in WA state. Please know I am praying for all of you. May His Memory Be Eternal! Agapi, mia
