Sandy I am very sorry for your loss. Your family is very special to me. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you during this time and always.
Our prayers are with you and your family. Your mom and dad were wonderful people and hard workers. I remember them as a team working behind the counter at the skating rink with eagle eyes looking out for all the kids. Many times your mom would give Willy a look and he was over the counter taking care of any that didn't show respect. Parents knew their kids were at a safe place because of them. Of course they handed out their share of band-aids too. God Bless your family.
S sorry for your loss, He was a special man in a lot of people's lives and will be miss by many. May God bless you all!
