Tony Giaimo sweetened the world with his smiling eyes and kind heart. We commuted together from Jackson Hts. to M&A and back home again throughout our four years together at M&A.
Jim Taibbe made the trek with us although he traveled further on into Queens to Flushing.
Tony and I shared a bottomless adoration for our beloved art teacher/mentor, Zelda Kerner, who we had tragically, abruptly lost when she took her own life. We consoled each other and eventually were able to carry on as if she were still with us, which, in spirit, she was and would be, forevermore. In much the same way, Tony will remain with me forever; my memories of his presence will remain close to my heart.

I am having difficulty finding information on my family history. My father is Nathan Zimmerman; his father is Donald Zimmerman (Nov. 6, 1912 - June 12, 1964 Los Angeles, California). My great grandfather is Edward Zimmerman (born 1883 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). My great-great grandfather would be Charles Zimmerman, a Prussian Army officer who eloped with Johanna Bernstein and boarded a ship to Philadelphia.
Due to my grandparents divorce while my father was very young, this is the extent of all the family-history knowledge. I have no more significant dates I could share to narrow things down and have found this problematic. If you have any insight into my family history I would be grateful for the information. It would be nice to know something about my family.
Respectfully,
