Teo's Birthday Dinner: Katsu Seafood & Steak House

Second year in a row that Teo has picked Katsu for his birthday dinner.  That's Troy in the green and Teo in the red.

Happy birthday Teo!

Teo's Birthday Party

 We had Teo's birthday party this month!

He is now 6 years old.

 The cake!

And Chuck himself!  He has always been one of Teo's favorites.  When Teo was about 3 or 4, he would sit on my lap at the computer and have me find Chuck E. Cheese videos on Youtube so he could watch them over and over.  In fact, that's how he learned to use the computer!

Moving Alex's Z

 As we prepare Dad's house for sale, one of the first things we had to do was move Alex's 280Z to a new location.   Tony volunteered to let him store it at his house until it is running again.

 Tony driving it up on the trailer.

Getting ready to tie it down.

My Father Passed Away Yesterday

From the time we found out he had Stage 4 lung cancer until his death was a little over 2 weeks.

The video below shows a few moments from his life, as compiled by his grandson Ron.  A beautiful tribute to a beautiful man.
