Dad
played children’s records and other good music all the time. He also played piano by ear while singing lyrics, played hangman on a school-size chalkboard,
played wiffle ball and beach ball baseball in our backyard and on the street in front of our house, took us to the park and to visit grandparents,
played cards, played carrom, took us to Mass, told jokes, and worked Monday through Saturday.
I loved our visits when I married and had a family. Dad was generous and wrote a monthly family newsletter, organized an annual family picnic, with Mom
gave me 10 brothers and sisters, and loved all of his children and their families. Mom was awesome, also. I was so blessed to have my mom and dad. Thanks,
Mom and Dad!
