Tradition for Halloween for our family was to meet at dad and moms home ,grandkids in costume. Dad's was first stop always for us ,mom always bought best candy to give out.Dad enjoyed seeing kids dressed up and I will always remember ever since I was going dad had old bald headed man mask he would at times out on kids seemed terrified of it.Last Halloween Dad had his carved pumpkin out which was imagine pumpkin throwing up bc Frank too much .Beside the sick pumpkin say a bottle of fireball. Dad had great sense of humor ,I see where I get it from lol. If only we would know when someone's last holiday will be celebrated, when the last visit with our loved ones will be.Sadly we don't maybe in a way that's good thing and also can be not so good .But Halloween of 2020 as usual all meet at dad's .,not knowing that would be our last Halloween with him. Must say it was deft a good time ,visit with him.He done his best to try to find Brian (son in law) a bold for mining light that Brian recently bought.If he wasn't feeling like himself he don't show any different. But beginning of Nov he made sure that gas fireplace was working correctly ,spend hours making sure it was ready for cold days that were near.I say he knew his time was near end so he made sure that mom had little to worry about.I remember calling up there one evening before Nov 12(ambulance took him to hospital) Alyssa (gdaughter) answered saying Moe ,as she giggled ,poppies and Mason are killing us.And said she had to hang up. I can still heard dad's voice when I would call U talk few to him then ask for mom he would tell nan phone it's Moe.I never want to loose the memory of image of him his voice calling out my name Moe. I miss him so much not only was he my dad be was my personal weatherman always ask him is it going snow? ,my mechanic if I had car issues he was first I would call.If I needed help in school work math he aS there to give answers.My eyes he was never wrong,hardest worker ever seen,deviated to family and his friends. Loved cooking chilli and made best around.love you dad oh I miss you more and more.
