Pat Pellitier Jablonski had this to share: When teaching me to drive: "This car is nothing more than a ton of metal, the only brain it has is the one behind the wheel". And, if I argued with him about something I was doing wrong, he'd say "Tell that to the Cop".

Audra Torillo Hauck had this to say: He told me so much over the years that ended up being right on! Mostly though, my dad and I became so much closer after my mom's death. When I would call, I'd always ask for my mom and never really connected w/ him. After her passing, we talk once a week and we even went to Florida together on a vacation w/ my kids and husband. What a great vacation.
