ITEM FIRST: I order and direct that all my just debts and funeral expenses, and the expense of the administration of my E~state, be duly paid and satisfied as soon after my decease as can conveniently be done. I authorize any executor or any substitute therefor acting to be able to contest any alleged debt, adjudicate, compromise, arbitrate, any alleged settle debt, and/or /', notwithstanding my direction to pay any such debt or funeral €!xpense, for the good of my estate and the beneficiaries of this my Last Will and Testament. ITEM SECOND: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate of whatever the same may consist and wherever situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my children, Robert R. Galaskas and Virginia A. Argentieri, share and share alike, with the issue of any of my children taking their deceased parent's share. It is further provided that if either of my children, should die before me, at the same time, or within 30 days of my death and leave no issue him or her surviving, then my surviving child, or issue of either child surviving he or she shall take the entire rest and residue of my estate. ITEM THIRD: I nominate, constitute and appoint my son, Robert R. Galaskas, as Executor of this my Last Will and Testament, and ~ v~ direct that he shall not be required to post bond in this or any other state in order to so act.

ITEM FIFTH: If any Trust(s) is required to be created for the benefit of issue who may be minors, I authorize my said Trustees, or any substitute therefor acting, to retain, in his or her sole discretion, such investments as I may possess at the time of my death, or to sell at public or private sale, at such times (or from t.ime to time) and for such prices and on such terms and conditions as they shall deem proper and for the best interests of my estate, and to make, execute and deliver good and sufficient deeds, conveyances and instruments of transfer for the same. ITEM SIXTH: If any Trust (s) is required to be created for the benefit of issue who may be minors, I authorize my said Trustee, or any substitute therefore acting, to retain, in his or her sole discretion, such investments as I may possess at the time of my death, or to sell the same and invest and from time to time r,einvest, or to make new investments and from time to time, reinvest, in securities that said Trustees shall deem safe and 2 ~ ~ J ~ profitable, whether the same be such are known as lawful securities for trust funds or not, including specifically the right to invest in shares of the common and preferred stocks of corporations organized in the state of New Jersey, or any other state or Country; and I absolve my said Trustee, or any substitute therefor acting, from any liability for losses arising from any investments which shall make in good faith in pursuance of the authority hereby granted.
