To my great friend Lisa and her family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Father. Although I only met your Dad once at your house, I recall Frank Sanatra music playing in the background & Joe filling his glass with some sort of spirit. It was quite apparent your Dad was fun loving with a great sense of humor and such a twinkle in his eyes. I know you dearly loved him and may all your happy memories bring you comfort.
Love Karen
