The new pastor is a very good man. He came to the wake last night and instead of just reading a prayer and running out he started a dialogue were everyone got to share their memories of my Uncle. My brother and my cousin Anthony did a great job leading the discussion. I was too out of it as my fib was acting up because of the stress. My brother Michael did a great job handling everything and he gave a superb eulogy at the funeral mass today. He touched all the bases. How Uncle V sold shopping bags and shined shoes during the Depression to feed his family. His service in the Navy in World War 2. His work on the docks for forty years as a longshoreman. His devotion to his nieces and nephews. His generosity and love for all of us.
God bless you Uncle V. I now when you get up to the pearly gates you going to turn to St. Peter and say "Hey fella is this were I go in" and that other famous fisherman will say "Come right in Uncle V we were waiting for you."
