My Dad loved people. He made friends with almost everyone he met. My love for sports, especially baseball largely comes from my Dad. He was a Farther figure to 2 of my friends growing up who were without Dads. He made sure we ate and ate well and taught us alot about life. You will be missed, Dad.
My Uncle Ed was a great man. He was always positive and up for laughs. We shared a lot of good times on Fridays and Saturdays watching boxing after we went to the Moose Lodge. My Uncle helped me find my first apartment in DC, gave me great advice as I was getting my career established, and helped me to stay positive in trying times. Uncle Ed, you are loved and will be truly missed.
