Did you help the Yankees win that last game we were listening to Friday night? Or maybe they just won it for you.
Love ya.
My uncle Bernie indoctrinated my brother Joe and me to be huge Yankee fans in our youth.
The love affair lasted a lifetime for all of us. He also taught to us that no matter what adversities
life threw at us; it can be overcome. Using his amazing athletic skills, sound and coordination he put me to shame on the golf course with no eyesight. He never missed the ball and sank putts with just the thumping of my putter at the hole.
I pray his soul is at peace,
Love,
Nephew Michael
