Hello Ligas Family, Very sorry to read about the passing of Joe Jr. I grew up with you guys when you moved on the 1700 block of 19 street in Chicago. Had many good times with John, Stan and Eddy (God bless his sole) Maybe this unfortunate event can bring us together for some memories of life near Harrison Park and growing up in the city. RIP Joe Miller
