If you are using GPS you can input the intersection of Cyril Ave & St Anne Street. The current construction on Broadway will hinder you from accessing Cyril Ave from the main road. You will see a sign that says “No Thru Traffic” on Cyril Ave & St Anne Street, but you can drive past it to access the funeral home’s parking lot.
Bobby was such a cute kid, a few months younger than I; he had an infectious giggle, always smiling & fun to be around.
When he visited my summer home for a week every summer, he turned on all the lights in our big, old house. When questioned by my mother as to why, it was because he had stock in the Atlantic City Electric Company. …..a foretelling of his future profession.
May his memory be a blessing. Cousin Elaine
