My dad passed away in 1994. I have so many memories of him, and luckily they are all good.

He worked a variety of jobs in his life, leaving his home in Pennsylvania in the early '30s to come to NYC. He worked for years as a cook in a Restaurant that was owned by the uncle of attorney Roy Cohn.   Dad had some not so nice memories of having to deliver food to Cohn during the McCarthy era.

He had a very dry sense of humor. He used to sit in the living room reading the newspaper for what seemed like hours, occasionally glancing at the TV. I remember once Debby Boone was on the TV singing "You Light Up My Life". Dad looked over the paper to glance at Debby. Her father, Pat Boone was doing TV commercials for milk around the time. He recognized her as Pat Boone's daughter and muttered "how much milk can one person drink" and went back to the reading the paper.   I guess you had to be there at the time, but his deadpan one liner still cracks me up. He had the delivery!
