Aunt Ginny,
This is a lovely tribute to Uncle Andy. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He was a kind and gentle soul. My memories of the family get togethers in our little house on Beekman Ave will always be with me. It was a happy time for all of us 🥰. I will always remember how he greeted me when I was a little girl. He would always give me a big hug and call me “Ruthie, my little Blondie!” It doesn’t seem possible that my generation is now the senior generation of the Matrangas.
Our deepest sympathy to you and all his family. 💔
Love always,
Ruth Lizotte-Pepin & my husband Jim.
