Popeye's & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges

November 5, 2018

Thanksgiving week 2006 Mom (Elly), Ray, Becky, Matthew, Brienna, Chase and I traveled to Orlando, Florida for vacation at Westgate Resorts.  We decided to go to Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure. Even though we were in Florida the high temperature this particular day was probably 65 degrees. In the evening it was in the mid to upper 40's...rather chilly.  Since we wanted to experience EVERY ride and attraction in the park the time had come to go on the Popeye's & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges ride. I was absolutely shocked that Mom was willing to go on the ride...enthusiastically! Anyone who knows me understands that I am not much of a fan of water rides! However I was happy to follow my mother's lead. This water tube ride was the wildest of its type that I have ever experienced! We all were absolutely drenched and laughed throughout the entirety of the ride. It seemed that my mother laughed and enjoyed it most. She too has never been much of a fan of water rides so this was certainly a positive experience for me to have shared with her. Following the ride, we were drenched and the temperature was cold!  Outside of the ride-ever so conveniently-was a kiosk for the sale of Popeyes and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges ride towels!  Although expensive, Mom spared no moment to reach into her purse and to then purchase each one of us an individual towel so that we could dry off and gain some comfort. This story clearly demonstrates the "child at heart," the generosity and thoughtfulness of my beloved mother. This is a memory I will keep with me for the remainder of my life.

I LOVE YOU MOM!  I MISS YOU DEARLY!

Love your eternally greatful son,

Vincent

I’ll always remember going to the house to practice singing. Even though we always work her up prior to her shift, she was sweet. I also remember how happy she was when we went to work to sing. 


Good memories. You will be missed

I can remember a time my Aunts Ellie, Peggy, and Ruthie came to visit us up in Massachusetts with our cousins. My Mother took everyone shopping at Richies Department Store in Salem Mass. As we were all shopping something happened with my Mother and when it did My Aunts grabbed all us kids and ran different directions Ellie had Me and Linda and we were hiding in a clothes rack. when my Mother came to get us Ellie was screaming lady who are you we don't know. if anyone remembers and knows what happened it was quite explosive for my Mother. On that note 

I say Ellie I know I was MIA for a really long time but I will always cherish the times I came to visit in New Jersey over the chicken coop and you were there for us as a family and being there my Mother your sister. You always will be in my prayers and thoughts. I will never forget the fun we all shared at Your house especially the cat that love to suck on ear lopes


With all of my heart Thank you for being part of my life. I will carry lots of fun filled memories
