I lived next door to your parents on Harrison Street in West Chicago. I have fond memories of them. Growing up we collected money for St. Jude's, one year we got to go to the Sox or Cub game can't remember which team but it was my first time ever at a game. Your parents were both very friendly, giving neighbors. Please except my sympathies on the loss of your father.
