I remember Dennis as “Joey.”The family lived on Hyde Street, and we lived on Collins Street, and I walked to school with Joey on our way to Tapley school, many times. I remember him fondly, as well as his mother and a couple of his siblings. Farewell, Joey. May you rest in peace
Hey Joe, I always looked forward to going down to service the proprietary equipment. You always endeavored to converse regardless of the challenges and uniqueness self employment could create, like a conjuring trick you would appear at that idiotic Toyota van and we would dispel any myths that the idioverse was anything less than an eternal multiverse with absolute proof by our very being of course with a slight curve around 7 am and 6 pm. I guess I get the last say existentialism “is” a political party with a twist of lime !
