I have fond memories of your grandmother. When I was very young my mother would bring me to visit her and she would give me a small cup of tea, I felt so special! Arthur her brother was my great grandfather. If you are interested in any of the family tree I’ve accumulated please feel free to email me.

Imagine my pleasant surprise seeing his photo posted! He was the cool uncle; every family has one. He was indeed a lifelong bachelor, yet showered my brother, sister and me with love & laughter. Whenever he would come to visit, he would craftily press a wadded up $5 bill into our hands. If my grandmother caught him, she would make us all give back our newly acquired fortunes. On those occasions, with a wink & a whistle, he’d be headed for the bus back to his apartment and cronies in Newark. And then we’d check our pockets or collars or shoes for the $10 bill he would have slipped us to replace the $5. He was the colorful character of the family, and was loved by all.
