Thank you, Marie. Dad loved Ocean Colony & never stopped missing it & all the wonderful people. He also enjoyed Buster's cooking at parties there as well as stopping to chat with you when he & I were out for a walk. Thank you for commenting & stay well.

And here we are, nearly a century on from those living arrangements, and we can still look back on it warmly.
Thank you so much for your note. I am sure Mom and Aunt Kathleen are delighted to read it.
All the best.

Truly he was the best Godfather anyone could have.
. My grandmother and mother lived with Marie and John and the boys after Mom's father and brother died within a short time...This was during the depression and they were on hard times. .. They stayed until my grandmother was able to secure a job...and eventually moved to their own apartment down the block... Marie and John were family and my grandmother wanted to be near them.. . Jack and Gene became my mother's adopted siblings.
.
. We visited years later when we lived in Jackson Heights. I remember vividly Kathleen's christening. My mother was Godmother and I thought it so cool to think maybe I was the god-sister.... I was 8 years old... .Well, I learned that that was not possible but I soon realized that being part of a beautiful family was a much better role...
Peace and Comfort to you all during this time...

That is hilarious! Yes, he would have kept his mouth shut.
Nana was always so fond of you - so nice to hear from you.
Jimmy McNamara and all the family

I was 11, maybe 12 in 1958/1959. My friend Kevin and I had a cigarette and matches. We were playing in an area just south of LaGuardia airport. This area was just many, many empty lots with dried weeds. We both wanted to try smoking our first cigarette. It was a little windy and we couldn't light the cigarette. We found a large cardboard box which we used to redirect the wind by lying on the ground next to the box to light up. It worked BUT we also set the weeds on fire.
We couldn't stop the fire. It just took off. We started to run, got to the main street just as the firetrucks were responding. We waited for one to pass and sitting on the back end was Jack. Some years later we visited Jack and I mentioned that day. He said he saw us. We left the conversation at that.
Rest In Peace, Jack
