Mike, I'm sure you don't remember me. My dad, Chester Tomasi was a good friend of your dad's. Your dad was my godfather, in fact. I don't know what made me search for your mom, but I was sorry to read of her passing. As I remember her, she was a great lady with the heartiest laugh. Condolences to you and your family.
