Uncle Tom's apartment

My brothers Jim, Dan and I ventured from the homestead in Coopersburg, PA, at 4:30 am traveling to New York City on a beautifully sunny Monday morning, August 25. We had a mission... to take all the remaining furniture from our Uncle Tom's apartment and hand in the keys. Uncle Tom has been in a nursing home and has finally decided to give up the apartment in which he lived with our father and our grandparents since 1941. Yes, that's 73 years! Here are some photos I took at the end of the day:





Here is the room used by my Uncle and father when they were children:











Here is the living room completely cleaned out, featuring our hard workers, Dan, Kathy Collins (our cousin) and Jim:









Here is a panoramic shot of the bedroom used by my grandparents:










Here is the superintendent of the building, Mike, in the cleaned out kitchen:










Here is the front door of 3109 Roberts Ave., Apt 2G:












Here is the outside of the building. If you look closely, in the upper left is the building superintendent waving from the back bedroom window of the apartment:






Finally, here is the back of the U-Haul van when we got it home:
