LOUISE,PATTY,SUE,CAROL
I HAVE SUCH FOND MEMORIES OF YOUR DAD, MOM, AND ALL YOU GIRLS AND GROWING UP ON PACKARDS LANE. I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF YOUR DAD - I'VE BEEN ON VACATION IN NH. I DEFINATELY WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE SERVICES. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I THINK OF YOUR DAD OFTEN EVERY TIME I PASS BRICK HOUSES ON SEA STREET IN QUINCY. FOR SOME REASON I HAVE MEMORIES OF HAVING VISITED MAYBE YOUR DAD'S MOM IN A BRICK HOUSE ON SEA ST??? MAYBE I'M JUST SENILE AT 47 YEARS OLD!! I ALSO REMEMBER THE PASSING OF YOUR MOM AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY. I REMEMBER CRAZY THINGS LIKE SHOPPING AT LANES DEPT. STORE IN BREWER'S CORNER, YOUR MOM WATCHING HER AFTERNOON SOAPS ON YOUR SECTIONAL COUCH, AND HER ALWAYS CHEWING GUM. I CHERISH THESE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF YOUR MOM AND DAD. AND SUE, I REMEMBER YOU DRIVING CAROL AND I TO SCHOOL IN YOUR MUSTANG. I WILL PRAY THAT YOU WILL FIND COMFORT IN ALL YOUR CHERISHED MEMORIES.

Mr. Tosches,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WW II fighting the Japanese and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
