My favorite memory of Uncle Vernie happened in Trenton, NJ on Thanksgiving of 1954. It was the first time my parents gathered the family together in our new house for a holiday. As usual, after dinner, the kids got together to play ball. Most of the time, Uncle Vernie was willing to watch us play and give us advice. On this particular day, I went in the house to get him. He was sacked out on the recliner snoozing away. I tried to wake him to no avail. I don't think he moved from that chair for hours. He was so cute! I am deeply saddened by his passing and hope that all of his family can rejoice in the fact that he is at peace in his new home. Lots of love and hugs to all.
