Dear Theresa, I have just read your dad's obituary on-line and wanted to express my deepest sympathies. I haven't lived in the area in 20 years, but I try to keep up by logging on to the Albany paper when I get a chance. God Bless you...it's been a very long time. Your former high school friend Patricia (McKeon) DiSisto

Donna and Theresa, this is Anna Hunt, I used to work at the ICC in Troy and I knew your Dad so well. He used to come and visit me in my office on a daily basis. I was so shocked to see that he has passed. He was without a doubt one of the classiest, well kept man I have ever known. He spoke to me a lot about the two of you and of course, his wife, your Mom, Mary, whom regrettable, I never got to meet. All I can say, is that is was an honor to have known him and I am deeply saddened to know that I will never see him again. Please know that the two of you are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
