It's been over a year since your father's passing, hearing everyone's stories in that packed church made me see how many lives the guy affected. I still remember your pops helping me procure my first car. The smell of orange Vick's cough drops as he was showing me brochures for Corolla's and Celica's at his desk. lol. Showed me how to drive standard in that red Honda Civic demo. Shifting gears without the clutch. And all I remember is him saying, "sports clutch, I don't need it. I taught Andredi!!" Didn't even grind the gears, was clean shifting. never saw it or heard of it before. Yeah - he helped me buy a Honda, not even a Toyota. Even went so far as to get me in contact with a sales rep from Birchwood Honda. Super guy and great family. I can't imagine what it feels like to lose a father. My well wishes to you all. - Posted by: Carmine Fiorillo (Family Friend, ) on: Nov 24, 2019
