As most of you know by now I have retired and my Son: Mark and Daughter: Daniela, have taken over the daily operations of the restaurant. I got to tell you guys I am very proud of them and all they are doing at the restaurant.

She made me a very happy father and God blessed me to have such a great Daughter as Daniela. She was very instrumental in my recovery, and my treatment with my leg and my heart surgery. She was my power of attorney over all of the decisions that had to be made and I have to tell you she did a great job with a lot of really tough decisions and she did the right thing every time. She is also a great wife, mom, and is doing an outstanding job at the restaurant. I LOVE YOU DANIELA - WISHING YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. THERE IS NO PROUDER DAD ON THE PLANET!
