As far back as I can remember Uncle Anthony and I had a very special bond, we both loved the ocean,fishing,crabbing,boats,great food and most of all having fun and dancing.
I would stay at his shore house with Aunt Joan (who made the best crabs ever!) my cousins Anthony, Michael and Joan where I would have the time of my life. I learned all of my Favorite Hobbies with them.
At 10, Uncle Anthony taught me how to drive a boat. He told me I was going to fast, I had to watch out for the crabbing and fishing lines off the bridge. I said "I Got It" and he said O.K.
For the next 47 years we had so many great time and memories, especially in Florida!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! I love you and will miss you! Love, Mary Jo
