I would like to thank you for sharing with me your memories and life stories from the time growing up as a kid and through your teen years. From the time you helped your mother raise you and your three older sisters to the time you had dealing with your fathers anger as an abusive alcoholic and his departure from the family. I will never forget the stories you shared with me of the time you joined the Army and your experience in Germany as a young soldier. To the time when you first meet your beloved wife Lorain at the roller rink, to the first house you built with your own two hands. I will never forget the stories you told of time you had spent with your family camping in the Pocono Mountains to the shores of New Jersey and the Hurricane and flood that swept away your heart and dreams.
