My sister Arlene posted my tribute but I wanted to say a few more things. Since your passing Dad, I have not been able to stop thinking about you. I have been remembering all kinds of things that had been tucked away in my memory that I haven't thought about for many years. God blessed me with the best Father I could have had. You taught me so many life lessons when I was a young boy and a teenager. At the time I didn't quite get it, but I also never forgot any of it. When I left home at 18 and joined the Navy, I was well equipped to be on my own thanks to you. As I went on into my 20's and 30's, all those life lessons you taught me made complete sense, and everything I have achieved has been possible because of the guidance you provided to me as I stumbled through childhood and adolescence. We had our moments when we didn't quite agree with each other, but we never stopped loving or respecting each other. You were also a good role model for me on how a husband should treat his wife and take care of his family. Through your example, Lisa and I have become best friends and soul mates. I will never forget you Dad. I have many fond memories of our family's life and activities in Fishkill, the NY World's Fair, Palisades Park, Coney Island, fishing with you at Captree, Jones Beach, our summer trips to Jacksonville, FL, Arlene Gardens, Olmstead Ave, Houghton Ave, Putnam Lake, Sprout Lake, Lake Lincolndale and Ft Lauderdale. I know with all my heart that you are in Heaven with Arnold right now. God gave you the task to raise a family and be the leader and you did a wonderful job. Thank you for showing me how to live a wonderful life.
Your Loving Son,
Andrew
