My Dad touched so many people throughout his life. Please carry on his memory in your heart. Having season Bears tickets for most of my childhood, I remember watching those games just to get a glimpse of him sitting front row near the locker entrance! In Orland Park he loved gardening, working on our cars and he always laughed when he remembers how many family and neighborhood parties we had at the house. They made that house a home for everyone. I think my parents highlights were when us 3 daughters filled their home back up with 6 grandchildren (1992-1995) Never have I been able to witness my parents love and laughter so much! They retired in Peoria, AZ. Enjoyed short trips to Vegas and Laughlin and seen the Grand Canyon. They loved playing Bingo and casino games. My Mom passed Sept 16, 2013 and my Dads heart was broken. I was able to spend these last 4 years with my Dad daily. He lived a full life and he always had a smile when he talked of his memories. God Bless and enjoy being with the love of your life again.
