...My prayers, memories and thoughts are with my good friend Jim along with Kathy and their boys. Also, my prayers,memories and thoughts are with Mrs. Sisto, Donald, Susan and John, and their families too.
I know that "The Colonel" meant the world to Jim...and to all the Sistos. He also meant a lot to others, too. From the first time I met Mr. Sisto, in the spring of 1980...when Jim invited me to stay with him and his family in FLA for spring break...to the last time I saw him a few years ago, his aura never seemed to change. You could just tell that he enjoyed his life...and that he loved his family, his friends, and darn near everything he did. He always had an outstretched hand, along with that "Geez, Thee, look at you!" smile on his face to greet me. And, he always had a quick "something" to break chops, just a bit, to let you know that he was happy to see you, and that he liked you.
While there will be many, MANY people who will miss all that Jack Sisto offered, dished out, or was all about, we will ALSO have every one of those great memories of a helluva man.
So long, Mr. Sisto. We'll all miss you. But, we'll also be keeping you around with all those stories!
And, to everyone else, know that I'm thinking of you...as I often do...whether you knew it or not.
God bless...good luck, and be well. All of you.
