My dad was a winner, even when he could not beat me at cribbage . He was one of the first male cheerleaders in Windsor and we teased him about that and all his other idiosyncrasies constantly . My dad knew how to take a joke and make bad jokes -- my brothers take after him. He sacrificed with my mother to raise 6 kids, get a great house in a safe neighborhood near school and church and always promoted that family comes first. His love for my mother was endless . ..he considered her beautiful when he met her and still thought she was the cutest redhead in the world . He was the adoring younger brother of Phyllis and Patrick and adoring big brother to Nip. He was there to say hello to all of us when we came into the world and we were there to say Godspeed when he left.
