Thank you for being such a good friend and cousin so long ago, Chuck. It was when the two of us shared those experiences across Broadway between those "not-so-competing" hardware stores, it was such unique times in downtown Melrose Park. All the best on your well-deserved reward now. Bless you.

I read that your father pass away. Was saddened by that news. But we should not saddened , but celebrate the life that he leaded throughout his life . So in the celebration of his life I am planting 10 memorial trees in his name . The trees will be planted in a national forest in the state of Arkansas.
