Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

I often thought about how Marilynn and Icky were doing. My deepest condolences to you and the family. I obviously had no idea of his passing and certainly would have paid my respects. He was a lovely person. Marilynn and Rita hired me 22 years ago at Partners Deli in garden city, my very first job at 15. I would often prepare Icky's breakfast Saturday mornings and if memory serves me correctly, he liked his toast well done with lots of butter. He was sweet and I didn't speak much to him because I was shy, but I always looked forward to seeing him. Partners Deli was my family. They gave me wonderful memories that I often speak o . If it wasn't for the Partner's family, I wouldn't be who I am today. - Posted by: Lisa - Consiglio (Hughes) (Friend / Employer) on: May 04, 2013
