My deepest condolences to the Czappa family. Kojak or Billy Whiteshoes as his buddy called him was a good man. He was happy go lucky and always up to going fishing or a good card game. He loved every one of his nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed. I'm unable to make the trip up for the funeral. RiP my friend.
