Wow, in just 2 months Uncle Benny would have celebrated 88 yrs on this earth. Cousin Mary Sue would have likely tried calling him to wish him a happy birthday and he would have told her she shouldn't have bothered!! I saw him almost a year ago when I ran into David at the hospital and learned Uncle Benny was there. Dad and I went to see him and he was so full of it, giving the nurses a hard time we knew he was going to be ok. Looking back I'm glad I got to see him, speak with him and add one last great memory of such a wonderful man. To my cousins, thinking of you all at this very sad and difficult time. Your Dad was a pretty special man who was loved and will be missed. I understand that he didn't want any services, that doesn't mean we can't all gather in typical Markowski fashion by getting together for a few cocktails. Love, cousin Lisa##imported-begin##Lisa Markowski Irvine##imported-end##
