Hi grew up next-door to the Polzer`s until I was 27 years old. Susie and I were best friends growing up. I remember the day when I was swinging on their little round swing, and the branch that was holding it broke and I went home and hid in my closet until, Johnny came over and told my parents it was OK. Silly, right? I also remember visiting my mom, after I moved out and I needed a wine bottle opener and she didn´t have one so I went over to Johnny´s and that´s when he took me to his man cave.
Fireworks were always a big deal in Cementon during the Cement Belt fair and if I was ever in town, I tried to walk over and see Johnny and his family. He was a great guy. And he was so good to my mom after my dad passed in 2015. Thank you for all the memories. You will be missed.
