Nick & Sam

Our family is sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved father, Paul. In the late 70's and early 80's our family ate at his Contessa Restaurant in Morton Grove and later on at the Gold Mine in Evanston. It is there we mt you and Sam. We were regulars at dinner and you two usually came over to talk. When Nick found out my father was in the education field, he called him "professor". As I recall, you were attending both Northeastern & Oakton and you are probably gainfully employed along with Sam. Although the Gold Mine's successors recently closed down, some of the times I pass by I have fond memories of your dad and the meals we ate there. May his memory be a blessing.
