    One of my favorite childhood memories was the annual Lipski 4th of July pool party at you and Aunt Cathy’s house in St. Ann. Family, sunshine, backyard fireworks, bbq, waiting 30 min. to get back in the pool, Shamu! Lol! Feels like a lifetime ago. I just know you’re doing the polka in heaven. Sending prayers to you Frankie. Love you Uncle Eddie. Rest In Peace.
