We are cousins of your dad Melvin. We haven't seen him in some time. We lost our brother Dick Trombly 1 year ago and received a beautiful card and note. He made mention of them being good buddies growing up. Us kids were playing in the alley behind where we all grew up. He was born in 1934 and brother Dick in 1938. They were a wee bit older than the rest of us. I didn't get here till 1943. Just wanted to let you's know our thoughts and prayers go out to you. He was a great fella. His suffering is over and he's now at peace. P.S Was so surprised reading of his interests in the Ballroom dancing and Bavarian music. Had he ballroom danced or just liked to watch like me? Interesting! Sincerely, Seabers and Hoovers
