Angelo and Anthony, so sorry to hear about your Father's passing. Wish you the best during this time of sorrow. It has been many years since I have seen you all but always look back at our time working together and your Father sponsoring the City League Men's Basketball team we played under his name R.E.O. and winning the Division we were in with trophy going to your Dad. You all take care and remember the great memories of him and the family. Much respect; I am still out here in the Bluegrass State of Kentucky and only visit back home periodically but come across this today and wanted to reach out.
