Today out of the blue, I received a reminder via email about the upcoming anniversary of Biggie's passing. Being remembered matters. My father died earlier the same year. Hard to believe it's been 14 years. I hope this message finds everyone well as we celebrate the memories of your dad. Biggie was a big part of what made growing up in Andrew Court so special. I'll always cherish those times.

Our beloved Uncle Biggie,
We toast you with the "nectar of the gods" and love you "more than a pig loves slop." It wasn't a party unless Uncle Biggie was there... Dad & Mom (Andy & Alvenia) thought the world of you... and we kids never knew any other way. Your memory will live forever in our hearts. RIP (Tell Andy we ALL send our love.) The good times are forever changed...

Mr. Carney- I did not know you, but I knew your daughters, Teresa and Susan back in high school. If a man is measured in any way by his offspring, you were a giant of a man. Rest in Peace.
