Debbie and Family-
I´m so very sorry for your loss, but I take comfort knowing that your father had a wonderful life, shared with people who always loved him.
There´s no greater legacy than that. "Big Deb" and "Little Deb" both won the father lottery.

Debbie, Jessie, and Ron: I am so sorry for the loss of your Pop. I met you and your family, Debbie, 65 years ago. I cherish the times we spent together. I remember when we went fishing for flukes and when we would go to Seaside Heights. Getting a suntan in the backyard and then swimming in your pool with your Pop and Donald and our friends was the daily routine. My sister Kathy says she remembers being taught how to dive by your Pop as we all were. It was so funny how he had nicknames for everybody. My nickname was Linda May and later it became Linda Lum. Years later I found out that lums were hot dogs cooked in beer. He meant a lot to me. I'm so glad you gave him personal care and attention as he grew older. He was a great man who raised a great daughter.
