Sorry for your loss. Your father was unforgetable!!! Maybe Chicago can balance their budget now... He did have a great sense of humor and never held back when it came to letting his mind be heard, and I mean that in a good way... Please let me know if there is anything I can do for the family... Love Always, Steve Stathopulos...
