Of course I’m sorry for your/our loss. Let me share some memories.
The pool table – the level of competition was quite high. Good eye.
He sang in the choir at Holy Family. “O Holy Night” during midnite mass – memorable.
Foosball – he was the best there’s ever been.
And working the cylinder head line in the Kenosha Engine Plant – he knew heads, while I did blocks.

Thanks Aaron. It made my day to think about those memories from the good old days. Good to hear from you.
