I remember I remember the phone calls at 6:30 every morning asking if we were ready for school, if the beds were made, the dishes were done and the house cleaned. After a while we learned very quickly to reply with a yes for every question:) I remember grandpa teaching us to play pool down stairs and reminding us not to dig into the felt on the table. if we were lucky enough in time he would take out a shiny wooden case with latches, open it up to show a red velvet material tht covered the inside and held a "special pool cue" which we would have the pleasure in testing out!! I remember out family Christmas lunches where the whole family would get together not only to have a Christmas feast that covered the pool table but to playfully pick on our late beloved uncle Chris (the comedian) I remember grandpa wrestling his boys in the kitchen when we were young teenagers and all of them windedly laughing, gasping for air. I remember grandpa lighting up like a candle with excitement while telling his boxing stories from when he was younger. I remember the adults playing cards till all hours of the night with us children half asleep but most off I remember waking up thru though's nights to grandpas music blaring. The smiles that would come to our faces as we woke were huge for we knew grandpa was ready to start the Congo line lol. We would start the dance in the kitchen thru the halls and end in the living room, what excitement. But what I will always remember grandpa is you welcoming smile, your huge hugs, loving kisses and seeing you at the end of the table at mom and dads for every family event and excuse we ha to get together. I love you now and forever ever xoxoxox miss you sooo much!!! Love jenny
