Susie and Flip, Hi! How fortunate you were to have your dad in your life for 96 years! He was a good man. Looking back, I realize all those long hours he put in his mom and pop store. I had a wonderful childhood growing up on 7th street and playing on market street. Your dad was a small part of that. "Flaimie's" was the place to go. Those days of a coke and penny candy made the day. My family, wife and daughters send prayers to all of you. Take care and God Bless. Mark
