To Jo, Frank and Mary,

Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of Andy. He was always one of my "fireman heroes" when I was growing up. He was a gentleman's gentleman always. We have lost one of the best of America's Greatest Generation. I am thankful to have been a fellow firefighter to such a great American. God bless our friend, Andy.

Pop Pop, you were an amazing person. There really are no other words I can describe you as. I cherish every moment and every conversation we've ever had together. I know you wanted so much to be at our wedding on Sunday and I'm so glad that you got your way and that you weren't sad that day because you couldn't leave your hospital bed. I hope you danced the night away! I love you so so so much and I know Peter will always cherish your conversations about flying with him and I know that you will be his guardian angel when he's up there flying his airplanes.

I will miss you terribly, but you are in a better place where you're not ailing anymore.

Love,
Lauryn and Peter

Mr "B" was my second father. I will miss him terribly. He had a kind heart and was a treasure to the folks who live and had lived in Bethpage. I will never forget when Mary and I got in trouble (going too fast on Stewart Ave) and were pulled over by a fireman. Mr B found out and lectured us but in a kind and loving manner.

Dear Frank and Family - I join you in mourning the loss of your loving father. I know how proud you were of your dad and enjoyed hearing you speak of him and his love for the volunteer fire service. I trust, my friend, that you will find comfort in the many wonderful memories you must surely have of your dad. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and will be during the difficult days to come. May dad rest in peace until we join him in the vision of Our Lord and Savior.
