this story of my dad & I(Tammy) , the reson why my dad called me Tammy is that he said that if he ever had adaughter i would call her Tammy, why you say well Debbie rynolds wrote the song tammy's in love he liked it. so that's why my name is tammy. as i grew up my dad worked as a automotive man, my mom was a stay @ home mom, cause she didn't have a car to drive any where. but any way my dad was a very loving man to all of us kids, mario, paul& my self. we moved to tucson,az in 1978 from new york, cause my dad said there was no more work for him there & we would go broke there, so he worked for a smal gas station. & ended up working for pima county automotive . in between working dad had a couple of small heart attacks, in 2009 in starting getting real bad health problem's, they got so bad that he finally passed a way in june 2011,
