My old friend just how happy for me to see that you lived such a long life. Knowing how much you loved your daughters and grand children brightens my heart. I have many fond memories of the pleasant times we has together. One of the last times we were together was lunch at the Hyatt in Cherry Hill where you told me about the real estate business you became involved in. The last time we saw each other was in or around 1994 when I was just out for a ride and drove down Read Ave. Jim people don't know some of the good things we did like going to Confession and Communion at Our Lady Star of the Sea in Atlantic City. My Prays will always be with you My Old Friend. Skips
