  6. A Tribute to Regis, my dad Everyone who knew Regis finds it easy to list his unique flairs and quirks. Here’s just a few: planted 48 tomato plants every summer, used only Amoco high-test, never used a credit card, known for his meat pies and steamed cheeseburgers, stock-piled wood, containers, stuff (might need them someday), used only cast iron pans, made every kid his buddy, wore shorts in the winter (under his winter coat), let us girls play on the wood piles, made Popham Beach a tradition, taped his favorite shows on VHS, loved his records, and cars like his children, always had a project (unfinished) in the house. There’s another list, however, too difficult to keep track of. Only G-d knows the full list of every act of kindness Regis did for everyone he came in contact with. .Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you’ve got to do is call. And (he’d) be there…you’ve got a friend.. (James Taylor) Love you and miss you, Diana .gotta go.

  7. Dear Grandma, I remember when Grandpa was helping me use a match for the wood stove in the cellar. When you and my mom saw us down there you yelled at grandpa, .what are you doing?. He said, .I let Aaron do it at his age.. Thanks Grandpa for showing me so many fun things. I will always remember you. Love, Yossi Don’t let the bees sting
