I came across a beautiful letter Ms.Helen wrote, to my Dad´s widow, a few weeks after his death. She said she recognized the name in his obit. Sure enough, they must have known each other!
She wrote sweet memories she had as a young kid sister, seeing the boys hang out at the gas station, owned by her brother, in Irvington.
Just wanted to let the family know...
