As I sit hear today and think of all the great times and memories.  I always think of all the football games we went to at Thanksgiving time. . My dad sure loved to give them officials a hard time. He would yell so loud everyone would look at us. My dad always my biggest fan. Never missed a football game or wrestling match. He coached me in basketball and baseball.  Love and miss you dad. Be looking forward to seeing you and mom again

My dad truly a great man. He showed me so much. He taught me to stand on my feet and keep moving forward.  Hs has taught me sports. He also taught me to be a winner and.  How to be a team player. He will never be forgotten.  The memories i made with my dad i will never lose. I know he is looking down at his family and is smiling because he knows how proud of us hd is. Thank you dad for the life youve given us. Rest in peace

Its so funny, reflecting back on all the times and memories I created with my Grandpa. In my head, so many of the times spent together feel as if they were just yesterday.... I guess that's how life can pass you by. Some of my best moments were spent between just me and Grandpa. He would always have me go in the car with him to get the food to bring home for the family. On our car rides, he would always ask me how was life, how was the other side of the family, have I been enjoying school, how were my pets, ect. We'd always get some amazing food, usually cheesecake because it's my favorite. 
I remember one specific day, he had turned on the radio while I was in the car to an oldies station and was asking me if I knew who the artists were, as he told me about them and their live's stories.... that was the thing with Grandpa, he was such an intelligent person, he just knew everything about everyone! And make sure, he would certainly share that knowledge with you! He'd always share stories to me about what it was like growing up in his time era, which was fascinating to me. And be warned, anytime he had Jeopardy on the TV, he would answer just about ever single question with absolute certainty, correctly. I was always taken aback my how well versed and intelligent my grandpa was. He was never one that was afraid to speak his mind.

As it says earlier my dad loved sports.  For those of you who know him he was also a master of statistics.  While going through his things we came across football and baseball statistics that he had kept going back at some points into the 1970's.  He knew every team in NJ.  He knew every player.  He knew every talent.  He kept records of every little league game, including who played, what position, hits, runs, etc.  I was surprised to find he had also kept records of my high school career in soft ball and basketball.  I was amazed. 
While in high school my dad was an outstanding basketball player.  He was on his way to scholarship when he blew out his knew.  This ended his dreams but that encouraged him all the more to spend time with us and teach us.
I recently was a Waterworks park in Dover and there is the basketball court.  How many years did I spend my Saturday mornings there learning how to shoot, how to do lay ups, how to play defense and just learn the overall game.  It was at that same park that I learned how to catch a ball, how to hit, field grounders and pop ups.  He dedicated a lot of time to me and I will always be appreciative of this.  
He was always a fixture at my games, and I could hear him in the stands directing my moves.  Sometimes this could be frustrating but it also gave me a will to keep going and do my best.  The only dangerous thing about this was having him and my brother together shouting instructions and making comments while sitting in the opposing team stands and the may lay that occurred from there. oh boy.........
There are so many stories that can be told..........:)
