Bob was my mom’s cousin’s husband, but was really like an uncle to me.  His fantastic sense of humor always made our family holiday gatherings and joint trips to the Jersey Shore lots of fun.  He always expressed an interest in what I was doing in my life, and listening to his entertaining stories was something I really enjoyed without fail.  Bob will truly be missed…he was one in a million!

Ben the big man, always used to harass this eedskins fan by ringing his doorbell repeatedly l, and always loved the Christmas season for the awesome Star Wars tree. 
One of the customers I missed, the interactions were fun, pure and always such a welcoming home. 
I cherish the memories as one of the best experiences in my professional life, a place I would always look forward to. You will be missed dearly! Ben Bieganski
