Tilly upside-down furiously wagging her tail, messaging submission. The Australian Shepherd is not a polite society dog. Should have taken the truck…

one year

Tilly has been in Charlottesville for a year.

Picked her up in Galax at Laurel Fork Labradors March 2017.

She has grown into her feet.

Snout has grown out.

She came into the world via cesarean section. Nine brothers, she was the only female in the litter.

Tilly is bigger than Eva now but they are still best friends.

Skippy behind the counter — John Joseph “Skip” Tornatore, III, 78, of Charlottesville, passed away on Monday, March 12, 2018, at the University of Virginia Medical Center, The Daily Progress has his obituary.

Mr. Tornatore and his wife operated Helen and John’s Grocery at 123 Franklin Street for many many years.

H&J Sign — Skip and Nadine had what you needed when you needed it. The place was a store with more…

Skip with the twins set #1 — Skip was a kind, gentle caring man.

ELD JSD JJT — His stock appealed to young and old alike. My favorite item was his custom sandwiches.

The store was a gathering place for long time Woolen Mills and Hogwaller residents.

His friends were legion.

He is missed. Thank you Skippy!
