My heart aches with the passing of my uncle Strat. He, and my aunt Cookie were such an important part of my life growing up.
I cannot list all of the fun trips and events we attended together and as a family. I would never pass up an opportunity to spend time with him at the ballfields. I spent time with him for many years as a young boy being the bat boy for many of his legendary softball teams and players. The memories of the trips we took with our families to places like Lake George, Roseland, Ranch, Sea World, and the fun parties and holidays together growing up have been such wonderful everlasting memories. These in addition to him taking me to his job sites, hunting for deer,and going horse back riding.
He lived his life to the fullest and always went with the flow. In my older years I would make arrangements to meet him at the Diplomat in Miami when he was there or at the Rio in Las Vegas if I could which were always wonderful.
I am so glad I had a chance to speak to you before you left us. I love you my uncle and now you are at peace with the love of your life, my aunt Cookie. My love and deepest sympathies go to Simone, JR, and the rest of family.
You will be missed.
Love,
Your nephew
