Dear JoJo,Mary,Gina,Lisa & the entire Family;
Janine and I would like to extend our sincere condolences to all of you at the loss of your Dad. He was a Good man all though at times he could be rough around the edges.A man that loved his crossword puzzles and who loved to polish those bottles behind the bar,wash those glasses,and count those coasters with out getting a single drop of water or dirt on that perfectly washed and ironed apron.LOL Those night I would spend at the corner of his bar and talk with him,he was full of a lot of knowledge, and once in a while I get that FREE drink.LOL!! I will miss him. I last talked to him at his Mom wake for about a good 30 minutes. I made him laugh at times and he said to me don't ever for get to do that you have that gift. Remember the Good Times and I know there are many and that will help you through this difficult time. He is no longer suffering and is in a better place now. God Bless you Jo and you all.
With Warm Wishes
Chuck
