I am Gerard's sister. He passed away in 1991. I knew the this skippy was not Skipper Varrichio. You really did get it right. Skipper also passed away.
Most of that crew are gone. Mikey Contello, Skipper, Gerard, Gasper, etc.
"skippy" was a nickname. Do remember a guy that used to "skip" down the street and touch the street signs? He also used to show up in church and spit at he Saints and jump around. That's why i said it was sad.He was in his 40's I think.
Dear Genevieve I was one of the wild bunch from OLL along with Gerard, Matthew and Skipper along with a few others. We had a reunion many years ago of our class of 1960 it was great. If you can please forward my e-mail address to your cousin Matthew I would appreciate it very much.
P.S. When I was at OLL it was Our Lady of Loretto.
Thank You
Michael Scheppa
