Jack,
I read the telegram on-line everyday, and was saddened to hear about
your dad. I know it's been many years and memories fade a bit, but I
spent too much time at your house on Crerie Ave not to remember your
dad . He had a great personality and a warm smile, and I'm sure you and your family will miss him every day. Take Care

Christmas Night will never be the same without Uncle John's famous kielbasa sandwiches and half sour pickles. You will be sorely missed.
My deepest sympathy to Auntie Dot and family.
