I didn’t get to know you very well as I was only 8 when your watch ended. However, I remember you would visit us (Uncle Carmen and Aunt Rose) in Manayunk in uniform with your service weapon and Mom wouldn’t let you in the house with “that gun”. At least that’s how I remember what happened. As we approach 47 years since your watch ended, I hope you are at peace in heaven and having fun with the rest of the family that we have lost. God Bless
