I would like to share a couple of stories about my beloved brother, Edward Robinson.
Even our family historian is not aware of these. I'm sure she will find them heart felt.
I was named by Ed. When I was born he had a girlfriend by the name of Karen. Thus my name which I love and am proud of.
In an Italian family the males are king. Mom and all the aunts called him Eddie Honey. I must have been 7 or 8 before I realized his name was Eddie not Eddie Honey.
I have loved and admired him always. He was and is my Big Brother and I am his little sister.

We lost our family patriarch. Belluchi history is silenced. The stories he shared, I will be eternally grateful for. Vi, you picked a great man when you married my cousin. And he choose equally as well. Loree, I'm so sorry, he may be gone, but you will always be Daddy's little girl. Grands, your grandpa was one in a million, you were truly blessed. R.I.P. Ed, give my folks a hug for me. I will miss you.
