Michael & Ann,
May God be with you at the time of your loss. You Dad was a fine man who gave his all for you when you were growing up and spent his younger daysworking two or three jobs to make sure you were always provided for. I enjoyed his visits at my parents homes in Connecticut and Illinois when he was on furlough from the Navy inthe early 1950's. He suffered with same aging and memory problems as my Dad and his oldest brother Joe.
