  2. Matt, thank you for posting this. This was my dad’s store. Time sure goes by. Both he and my mom have passed away but not the loving memories of two people who sacrificed their whole lives for the love of their children and grandchildren. They lived by the motto, “Family First!”

    My children still speak about them constantly and now share their stories with their own children, my grandchildren.

    Thanks again, and Merry Christmas, and Buon Natale!
