Francene and Jerry, So sorry for he loss of your Father. My family affectionately remembered and always thought the world of Tony, also known to the "old Italians" as Flick! My wife and I fondly remember renting that little house behind the old Chevrolet garage on Juniata Street in Havre de Grace from Tony. I may not have seen him much in the latter years but he will be remebered by me always. Gary Leadore
