My name is Tony Long. I worked at Groov-Pin from 1976 through 1991 and knew your father Frank and your Uncle Benny fairly well. Please accept my condolences on Frank’s passing. Coincidentally, Robert and Barbara, I grew up in Sloatsburg and still have relatives living there. Again, please accept my deepest sympathy.
