My sympathies to your whole family. I’ve known Ambrose since I was a little girl. He used to come to my parent’s store every day for lottery tickets. My son used to love pulling his hanky out of his back pocket and run away with it. He will truly be missed.

Even though I was out of state my thoughts and prayers were here with each and every one of you. Ambrose was like a dad to me when I was growing up with Debbie and Gerry. Rest pop no more pain.
