I'll never forget our trips up North with Uncle Stanley, Aunt Anna, T. O. Carney and the whole crew. You always taught me so very much about being a good person. Yours and Uncle Stanley's quiet support of Norma and I after our father Frank passed went unnoticed by many but not us. You taught us to take pride in any kind of honest work, from the trash on up - an honest days work for an honest days pays. Thank you for being you!
