We would also like to thank the members of the clergy that are here with us, Father Puleo, Father McGuffey, Father Ed and Father Chubenko. You know I can't recall a single day that I am not reminded of the mark that my father has left in Carteret, Whether it is from people stopping me on the street to tell me a story about something that my father did or the fact that so many groups in Carteret still keep my father close to their hearts. I would like to thank Joanne Kissleman, Marie Decibus and all of the Carteret Specials who had a beautiful memorial built for my father in the park with the help of Sam Sememza and the Parks Department and the fact that even nine years after his death, every spring the Specials gather at the Memorial to plant fresh flowers and remember my father is a tribute to the bond that my father had with the Specials and the bond that the Specials had with my father. The Carteret Specials brought so much joy to him, or that every year George and Gloria . Lisicki and the veterans place an American Flag at my fathers grave site on Memorial Day. My father would be so happy to see that you and so many others have not forgotten him. That is why he loved Carteret. Again, I would like to thank Mayor Reiman and the Council, not only for this day but for bringing to life many of the dreams that my father had for Carteret, keeping his spirit alive by carrying forward some of the plan that he envisioned for Carteret and this road is certainly a perfect way to remember him. Thank you all for being here with us today and thank you dad for being the Pete Sica that we all loved.
