My beloved father, I can't believe you were taken from me,why? I know I wasn't meant to be there that day,the worst day of my life.There was a reason for it, as I know there is a reason for everything.Your buddy Robert told me not to long ago that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Boy, isn't that the truth. I am truly your daughter!I have inherited your humor,kindness,love of animals,easy talker and strong personality.I always knew in my heart how much you loved me and that I was your girl.I am proud knowing that you know I would always be there for you to hold the leave bags while we raked, mowed the lawn, spakled the chimmney.God I am going to miss you.I miss your voice our talks in the morning and late at night,that was our bonding time. I will never hear your voice again, I want to hear you call out "Kathy Ann" come down here a minute,will you take me to Food Town, or oh wile your out pick up some O'Dooles and lottery tickets.Make sure you get the Mega Million!!I sit in your chair in your room waiting for you. I smell your shirts just get your scent.Why, are you gone why were you taken from me from us . You are my forever buddy, and I will never hear your say what's up "KID". Don't worry Max will be walked twice a day.Through this devestating time,I have been blessed speaking with your friends and business associates and I know how much you trully meant to them and how much you will be missed. You taught me well. I hope you will be as proud of me while I had 42 wonderful years to spend with you.I hope you are looking down on me from heaven.I know you will guide me and show me the way. Until we meet again my dear and beloved father. I will miss you for the rest of my life. I know the awful pain I have in my heart will lesson in due time. I will celebrate you and honor your name. I hope to be the daughter you always had expectations of me to be become... I love you and miss you very much.Your Loving Daughter , All my love always Dad.

Uncle Frank has blessed us with many years of laughter and knowledge. He was a truthful man; never afraid to speak his mind and stand up for justice. My fondest memories of Uncle Frank are of our 2-3 hour phone conversations that I would spend laughing at his stories no matter how dismal of a mood I was in when I answered the phone. He would tell me "don't worry about a thing; it does not matter". Uncle Frank knowing that I love bagels would send me bagels and bread because you cannot get "real" bagels in Pittsburgh. He taught me how to cook some marvelous meals and sent me a Hungarian cookbook so I could learn part of his heritage. The funniest story he told me was that of his experience attending Aunt Liz's wedding. Having just been through difficult times to get to the United States and unable to speak English, he was forced by my mother Vera and Grandmother Katerine to attend the wedding. Grandmother had a Hungarian friend who acted as a translator for him which was not pleasing to Uncle Frank. He did not want to have a translator, did not want to wear a suit that did not fit and certainly did not want to attend Liz's wedding. Someone at the wedding asked him through the translator how he liked the USA where he replied in his native tongue, "how the @#$% do you think I like it, I've been here one week and can't speak the language". Agitated at this, Uncle Frank decided that he was going to leave the wedding unnoticed while his translator was in the restroom. So he did; Uncle Frank walked from Passaic home to Garfield. Meanwhile Grandmother had the Passaic police department looking all over for him. When everyone arrived home, they were shocked that he was sitting in the palor with Ricky the dog. Grandmother was perplexed that he was able to find his way. He replied "I just found my way from Hungary over mountains and waters, what makes you think I can't find my way from Passaic to Garfield!" Even when he was annoyed with me for not returning a phone call right away, he always had me laughing. What a wonderful man my family and I were blessed to have in our lives. We miss him very much.
