My sincere condolences to you Jeanine..and your brother and sister.
I share in your grief knowing how much your dad loved you and that time goes by so quickly.
I've known him since he visited in Michigan and he and I developed a friendship over the years. He always asked me to look after you!
Going to the Polish Club near you in Pittsburgh was a highlight. He was so proud.
So I will look after his Nini and remember him with love. May he Rest In Peace.
