Our Grandparents- Part 3

Our Grandfathers

Mike and I never really knew them because they both died before we were even born. The only thing that I know about Dad’s father is that he is in the NJ Boxing Hall of Fame. I don’t know when his parents got divorced. I think that it was when Dad was a teenager.

   Mom’s father was a volunteer policeman in our town. He built the cabinets in our basement and the enclosed front porch where we kept the refrigerator. He died in 1967, a year before our parents got married. I’m almost certain that mom told us that he could have been a professional baseball player. We certainly did not inherit any athletic abilities from our grandfathers.
