Oh, Chuck my deepest sympathy to you and the whole family. I’m wrapping you up in a huge hug and sending you my strength. He’s reunited with his one true love. Stay strong and know you are not alone.
Gilbert’s son Gil Herrera was a good friend who I enjoyed as a classmate, football player and was always around with a smile on his face. My sympathies to you and your family at your loss of your father. I am retired and living in Eagle River, WI with my wife Mary Pat. Hope you can join us one day at Pepi’s Pizza in West Allis and catch up with some of our friends. Would enjoy talking to you and catching up. Jack Balistreri and Jack Manke are the organizers and schedule a Pizza lunch once a month.
