Odd, something told me to look though I have checked a couple times in prior years. Peanut and I were friends about the time of junior high in York Pa. though he went to catholic school and I went to public. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I've not seen him in at least sixty years but have thought about him off and on during that time.
He stayed in York; I went to New York. We had good times together. I lived across the street from him on Queen street. Funny what you remember, one is his father, Maurice, told us to sleep after eating lunch, good for the digestion. Worked often with Maurice on small home repair projects. Of course, we got in the usual trouble in a poorer neighborhood. I remember us sneaking into elevators to see how they worked, more me, than Peanut.
Again, I'm sorry to see this. Hope his sister, Kitty, and family are well. I did see Bert, his browther, passed on a few years ago as did Maurice, their father, just a bit before (I believe). Danny B.
