Cousin Billy we go way back to Pittsburgh, you are the Godfather of both my grandchildren and more like a brother than a cousin. I will miss your laughter at holiday dinners. I am sure Aunt Babe (my Mom) has welcomed you in heaven. Love and miss you

The Pittsburgh (and Cleveland) contingent of Billy's family mourns his passing - Georgianna, Dan and Ron Papale and Rena Papale Koontz. Distance and frequency of contact do not define a relationship.It's the love we keep for each other in our hearts.

easter memory 1997

April 21, 2011

i remember this easter very well because it was the first easter we had after our mom and dad passed away.

Billy drove out from las vegas to have easter with us over Dora's house and Johnny came to we all were there our kids and we just sat around Dora's dining room table talking and laughing so much and remembering our growing up and being together and it was just so nice.
 

It was very special because we were all together on a holiday and that was special to me that was my memory .

 

Brother and Sister Working together

April 21, 2011

When I was 16 years old and still in school, I worked during summer vacation at Baker Shoe Store in Santa Ana where Bill was the manager.  This was a ladies shoe store and Bill always dreaded the first day of a huge sale.  I remember one time that just before he unlocked the doors, there were at least 10 women waiting to come in.  I stood behind the cashier counter and the minute he unlocked the doors, there was mass confusion.  Women were running through the store looking for their size and as he was trying to fit a shoe on a customer, another women had a shoe in her hand and was hitting him on the head asking him if that shoe came in her size.  I had a terrified look on my face but at the end of that day, we just sat and laughed at the whole thing.  We had a lot of good times and lots of laughs.

Those were the best of times.  

Love Your Sister, Dora
