We have fond memories of Holidays with family on Berkeley Ave and New Year’s Eves at Grandma’s house in Clifton. Always remembering the good times with our Olive Street neighbors. Of course there were many fun times with our new friends here in Florida. He also found solace in the quiet moments alone with his wife and family.
