Mr. White,
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 during WW II-God knows what hardships that you had to endure as a Prisoner of War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Sincere sympathies. I knew Hugh for years in North Scituate as he was a friend of my father Frank Keegan. May he rest in peace.
