Some of my best and closest friends are still part of my life. Worked with them over 25 yrs ago. Live with one now, we met in 79 in Hartsdale and been reunited 3 times since.
It's this special once in a lifetime kind of experience only achieveable through working at Crazy Eddies!
Well I knew your hubby before you did cause I worked from 77-81 then again from 82-84, then from 86-89. Worked on Coney Island Ave but in Bronx before then and met Richie back then, does he remember Abbey who worked in Bronx service with myself and Panoff and the original service techs??? I sent you a private message telling you who I am. Oh, and I remember you to Wendy!
I worked in Bronx Central service during the early 80s. Knew everyone who was upstairs from Dave, Mark and Charlie to Richie and Byron to Cathy, Siobhan, Maryann and Regina, the service van drivers Mark, LeGrant, Jerry, Dylan, or downstairs in the record warehouse.
Or double parking by the Hospital on Tiebout and forgetting my car was double parked all day. Come out at 5 to find my car in the middle of the street, nothing nearby it, and no parking ticket either.
I think I worked in Bronx service in 1974-1975, then quickly became service dept manager in Brooklyn, 1975-1978 service which was down the block, up the street on Quentin Rd and upstairs! We used to have all the repairs brought upstairs from the store on Coney Island Ave, all lunches were done up there. What a job it was dragging all the equipment up and down stairs. Customers always complained they had to carry all there equipment upstairs. I remember taking care of Lee Mazilli right before he joined the Mets. The service crew consisted of: The Wizard -senior tech, and Larry, tech. Joey Amato was a budding tech. His dad Tony Amato use to moonlight 3 nights a week to do our lunches, and would he be pissed if the store took back merch that did not have all the right packing. Carol Cartelli handled all the phones. MC was store manager. I could go on about that place. MC would take everything back, no matter what! Imagine, taking your retunrs to the store, then being told you had to go down the block, turn right go down the street, up the flight of stairs to get your exchange ticket, then go back to the store to finaloize your transaction !! Who had all that time? Today you could never get away with that. But we were able to then.
