Dear Bonnie, Blaz and Mike, I was so sorry to see in the Daily Breeze that your Dad had passed away. Memories came flooding back of our fun and freedom on 130th Street. Your Mom and Dad were always so welcoming and there seemed to always be something exciting going on at your house! Your Dad was a good man and I will keep him and all of you in my prayers. Kathy
