To The Entire Sirota Family,
I was Mr. Sirota's primary night-time hospital care aide while he was a patient at St. Francis Hospital, and I always found him to be the most nicest, tender man! Thus, the "Teddy Bear" nickname I soon gave him.
Since he was also very family oriented (like I am), plus shared the same work ethic that I live by, we instantly hit it off. In fact, I just loved hearing all about his time in the Navy, and how he met his lovely wife, Eddy, whom he was so proud served in the Navy, too!!!
Then there were all his stories about his late brothers & brilliant grandfather, plus all of his wonderful children, which I always took such pleasure in hearing about during our long talks when he couldn't sleep.
Such a kind, gentle soul will be greatly missed, and I am so honored to have had the privilege of taking care of such a sweet man.
Sending his family my deepest condolences....
