Thank you for the many memories . Sleigh riding in bunny park , bowling , ice skating , driving to Florida in your Dodge Dart , working at Danny Boys Deli , lunch at Stewart's , making my hamster a cage , attending our dance recitals , vacations in Ortley Beach and how can I not mention the Donny Osmond concert for Debbies communion that I got to go also !
When your grandchildren were born you rushed to the hospital all three times You were so happy to be a grandfather .Back then nothing would stop you from seeing them.I remember how much you enjoyed going to watch Liam play soccer since it was such a passion of yours
You were a man of few words , but got your point across especially when I wouldn't eat certain foods !
I hope your resting peacefully Dad
