My fondest memories of Mr. Torbert will always be our chats! It seemed like you could talk to him about everything and he'd always have a wonderful and postive word of advice--even if it was about his beloved NY KNICKS or YANKEES.. boy did he love sports. He was a "girl dad" before the hashtag and his love was so strong for his girls that it extended to their friends! Thank you , Lea for sharing your Dad with me. His laughs, his advice and his love will always be remembered. Love you all, Lateefah!!!
