Hi Opu, I think about you often. I miss listening to your lifetime stories you had back in the "old country." You were a "jack of all trades," - in order to support your family. When you, Mom, Leslie and I immigrated to Canada, you worked hard at renovating our house, building a brand new garage, making a large garden for Mom. You did so much for your Family. You loved music a lot and played the violin, harmonica and accordian. You were such a kind and generous man. I will see you when my time comes. 💙 - Posted by: Elizabeth (daughter) on: Feb 08, 2025
