A rainy night in southwest suburban Bridgeview Illinois. July 2015.


I took this photograph one night earlier this week after work.

The bright lights of the Shell / Circle K convenience gasoline
station at the intersection of West 87th Street and South Harlem
Avenue, are reflected in the wet pavement after a heavy rain
storm passed through the area.

In loving memory of my beloved Stepfather, Mr Charles J. Sefrhans. 1927 -2015.

 
One of the kindest people I have come to know the last 44
years, was my Stepfather, Mr Charles J. Sefrhans.
 
"Charlie"or "Chuck" as he was known to many, lost his
battle with Luekemia on Saturday, July 4th, 2014. He
will be greatly missed, and was a very good role model
when I was growing up in Chicago during the 1970's.
 
Rest in peace Charlie. We all miss you.
