Marion and family,
It is with great sympathy that I write you today. Please pass on my condolences to all the family members and friends I've had the honor to share with you and Buddy.

Since leaving Mass. Pk. I've missed our time together but, always considered Buddy a 'Best Friend'. He was a 'Rock' in our friendship and know he was a 'Rock' in his family life. I'm sure you'll all miss him, I have.

My sympathies to the McCauley family on the passing of their Dad. When I worked for NYC government, my first assignment was working on the NYC Sanitation Department budget. I met many members of that organization. Whenever I mentioned Buddy McCauley, I received a good laugh. He was very well liked.
We will keep you in our thoughts.
