Bernie Mansfield, Wow, what a life you lived, I’d like to thank you for your kindness, and laughter all threw the years. When thinking of you and Big Jim, I think of the great times in Lake Geneva, after your 3rd bottle of champagne, you said I think I’ve enough, only you. Two songs remind me of you, Sinatra’s My Way, and you sure did it your way in life and death, and My Buddy, and that’s what you were to me. It’s been one heck of a ride ! Love To You ! Say Hi to Big Jim and Micky , R.I.P.
Jaime so sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing, we are out of town but keeping you in our prayers, the Zuccaro family
