As a little girl, one of my favorite, earliest memories of my dad was him holding my hand and taking me into kindergarten. He always took us to the first day of school. I remember when he worked on a well-known NY radio station, as an Army recruiter, and he would take us to NYC on a special occasion for his radio hour, and a special treat for the day. Fond memories. I loved going to his rehearsals as the King, in The King and I at The Princeton Playhouse. I remember VFW state conferences in Wildwood, NJ and all the many parades and picnics. I remember putting up Christmas trees on Christmas Eve, and Friday night bowling. I loved his zeal for reading, politics, and learning. Everyone he met was his buddy. You were loved dad, and you will be missed.

THE VERY FIRST THING I REMEMBER WAS RIDING MY TRICYCLE DOWN THE PORCH STEPS AND COMING TO ON THE BACK SEAT OF OUR CAR AS YOU DROVE ME TO THE ARMY HOSPITAL AT FORT SILL, OK. THE TIMES YOU TOOK ME TO THE ARMY HOSPITAL ON FORT DIX TO HAVE A CAST PUT ON MY ARM AND THE DOCTORS RECASTING IT 3 TIMES. I REMEMBER CAMPING ON THE BEACH AT SANY HOOK, THE VFW CONVENTION IN WILDWOOD AND SPENDING MORNINGS BIKING ON THE BOARDWALK. GOING TO THE FLEMINGTON FAIR EVERY YEAR. NO MATTER WHAT, YOU MADE US RIDE SCARY RIDES AND TELLING US TO SCREAM. I STILL CAN'T RIDE SOME OF THOSE RIDES!! I REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD A MORNING RADIO SHOW ON SATURDAYS FOR AN ARMY RECRUITING BROADCAST AND HOW I COULD GO THROUGH THE DJ'S BOX OF 45 VINYL RECORDS TO HAVE FOR MY OWN. I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU HAVING ME FINISH CONSTRUCTING A METAL SHED ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD. OUR VW BUS!! GOING INTO THE WOODS TO FIND SHALE ROCKS SO YOU COULD MAKE A PATIO OUT OF THE STONES. OUR VFW FATHER/DAUGHTER TRIP TO SHEA STADIUM TO WATCH THE METS. BEING A CAST MEMBER WITH YOU IN ONE OF YOUR PLAYS AND YOUR ACTING IN MANY COMMUNITY THEATRE PLAYS. I LOVED WATCHING REHERSALS. I FONDLY REMEMBER WHEN YOU FOUND A STRAY GERMAN SHEPHERD ON ROUTE 1 IN NEW JERSEY. GERONIMO - OR AS WE CALLED HIM, "MOE". I REMEMBER THINGS YOU TAUGHT ME, LIKE HOW TO USE CHOP STICKS. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT OTHER CULTURES AND THEIR ETHNIC TRADITIONS. TEACHING ME HOW TO PLAY CHESS, TEACHING ME HOW FISH - EVEN TO FISH WITH A BAMBOO POLE. I REMEMBER GOING TO THE SILVER SADDLE SWIM CLUB AND YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO DIVE INTO THE POOL. I FINALLY MASTERED THE HIGH DIVE! I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU...LIKE HOW TO REALLY LOVE AND CARE FOR OTHERS. THANKS DAD. WITH LOVE, LAURIE ANN
