As the “big sister”, my first memory of my brother was him coming home from the hospital as a newborn! Growing up together we shared a home and many childhood memories. One of my favorite memories is our vacation to Atlantic City every summer. This was long before gambling and casinos! Other than the beach, the main attraction was the Steel Pier, where we enjoyed many different amusements, shows and most of all the famous diving horse! We also splashed in the surf and fed the pigeons on the boardwalk.
As an adult, my favorite memories are the vacations we took to our favorite places, New Orleans and Key West, where Butchie loved the jambalaya and conch fritters!
My other favorite memories are the holidays, special occasions and dinners, I was blessed to spend with him and his family.
