pattrose* Who is the funniest person in your family? My dad was hilarious. We miss laughing with him so much. Now I have a grandson who is quite the comedian. He cracks us up without even trying.
* Who is the coolest ancestor you have? And what did they do? I have to say that all our grandparents came to this country knowing no English and no family or friends here. Both of my grandfathers opened a restaurant. My Italian grandfather’s place was called Sunnyside Cafe. He came over in his 20s and died from Hong Kong Flu at 59. It was a very nice little place. My grandmother was also from Italy. She married grandpa and worked the tables. She died at 93.
My Greek grandfather came from Greece and opened up a hot dog shop. He worked very hard and passed away at 92. My grandmother came from Sweden. She was the hardest worker I have ever met. Nothing was too hard for her to try or do. She died at 94.
I feel like they were the coolest and the hardest-working people I'veBb ever met. I was very proud of all of them.
