Balakier family,
So sorry for your loss. Davey was always so nice to me when I would see him out shopping Gerrity´s, Vino´s or Kmart. Our family always knew him since I was little girl because he was the Sear´s repair guy. My Mom grew up in Sugar Notch so she´s known him the longest. God bless you all. You´re in my thoughts & prayers. RIP Davey
Love your friend,
Diana
