Laura, Thanks for posting the obit. to your blog. Aunt Janet found a pix of you, mom and Uncle Ed that is now up on the refrigerator in our kitchen. It looks like the 3 of you are visiting the NC zoo (during the time between Hoboken and Monmouth - Aledo). But we're not sure where the pix was taken. Uncle Ed is wearing a blue jeans jacket and has a blue baseball cap w/ some kind of logo on it. Mom has 'big hari' and you are a blond little cherib. Love, Father figure
Excellent way to honor the memory of our beloved uncle
