Mr. Hurley,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I remember being in my uncle and aunts wedding when I was a little girl. I recall many summers spent with my aunt Peggy and uncle Bill in Revere wheeling my little cousins, Billy and Bobby in the carriage. I am sorry for the loss of Uncle Billy my Godfather. I forward my deepest condolances to both of his sons and their families.
