Ed and Angela Mockapetris, from St. Jeromes Seniors (Jems).
October 27, 2024
Enjoyed time with Sy at the Jems, st. Jeromes Seniors. His jokes, going to Atlantic City and his jokes on the bus home. He was the friendliest guy you would want to meet and generous of his time and talents for others. He always had a smile to share and made others feel comfortable in our commonality.
