Quite the send-off for the patriarch. Dad turned 90 on the day of his funeral we gathered round, sang “Happy Birthday” and toasted his departure with slivovitz. ❤️
Being able to be welcomed into his home, spending holidays or visiting for a Saturday lunch. Sharing pictures I was able to take from his old shop and being able to get to know him. Raised some wonderful sons. :)
Jim gave me a career. He paid for my school and financed my tools. He was one of the most positive influences in my life. Along with his brother John, I was given the best chance to succeed in the Tool & Die profession by two outstanding gentlemen. Rest in peace
