A very special memory with Poppy was when he and Nana had us over for a fun art project. We decorated these big floppy white hats! Such a great time with all of us laughing, using glue, ribbon, gems and flowers. That hat was saved in my room for many many years!

Thanks for the great reminder
From: Brian Brunner
I will always remember what a great dad you had. It was nice growing up next door to your family. Your dad was so nice, kind, fun and funny. This is a very touching (and well done) tribute. It brought back a lot of nice memories for me. Thank you for sharing. Brian

Dad's Business Envelope

I found one of Dad's envelopes. Saved it for many years. I enjoy seeing it and I am sure others might want to see it as well. I certainly do!

Dad's Birtday cards to me

The highlight of my birthday and probably all of ours was Dads cards. I remember waking up and running to the kitchen to check out my card. I still can smell the magic markers and see dad at his drawing board making someone's surprise card the night before a birthday or holiday. Dads card was the best gift.

Thank you times a million!! The website is amazing! I absolutely love it. I will never ever forget how incredible of a person Poppy was. I remember poppy would always want us to sing or dance for him...and if we did he would give us a $2 bill, which was so special to us!
I love Poppy

Smocks

When we were in grade school, each year dad would make us an art smock, they were so cute where all the other kids were so envious of our adorable smocks. Below is one dad made for Dara.

What a wonderful tribute to your father, and your entire family. Looking through all the amazing pictures, it is obvious to see the love that flows through the entire family. I especially loved seeing the huge group of cousins, sisters, brothers, the whole gang!! You really captured the life of your father, the love of his family, his work and general zest for life. Thank you so much for sharing this!! Love, Your Cousin, Debbie

Sunday Suppers Dad & Grandmas
From: Mindi
On Sundays our grandmas would come over for dinner, I remember supper almost always consisting of boiled kosher hot dogs. Dad loved buying the dessert at Grebe's bakery from the second shelf, and mom would always say "oh Al couldn't you buy the fresh bakery" where Dad would always squeeze the package and say " are you kidding these are so fresh" and savor every bite of his money saving second shelf desserts.
