Though we haven't been in touch for many years, I am sorry for your loss. Your Dad and my Mom were cousins. She was the former Dorothy Hintze Piorkowski. I remember your Mom and Dad and what a beautiful couple they made. I used to visit my Grandma Hintze on Green Street in Duryea and remember your grandparents so well. Even though we don't know each other, I am sorry for the loss of your Dad and another member of his generation within our family.
