We will miss his humorous stories for he was a wonderful story teller. While he was ill many people we encountered remarked how they knew and liked our dad. When we told him about this and that he was “like the mayor” it made him smile. We will miss hearing his amazing piano playing where one could hum a tune and he could play it by ear. He was an avid gardener who has passed this love onto his 4 children.The beach was his favorite place to be by the chilly sparkling water of the Long Island Sound where he would always remark that it was “refreshing”!
