grew up in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. My family consisted of
five children of which I was the second born. My older sister
Janie (in the photo above) died of Multiple Sclorosis in 1982
after having a family herself of three children who are now grown.
My younger brother Bob now lives in Ohio with his wife and two
daughters. My sister Shirley lives in Blue Bell, PA and is raising
her own family of two daughters with her husband, Jeff. The youngest
is my brother Jim who lives in NJ like me. I am divorced with
one son, Josh.
