Dear Audrey & Sons,
To let you know how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Dick. He will be forever in our hearts with fond memories. Dick was such a large man with an even bigger heart, He always made sure Pegs 3 younger sisters spent fun filled days at his Company outings each year and boat rides on Boston harbor to see fireworks,
He will be greatly missed,
Love Lisa (Isaac)Merlonghi

Dear Audrey,Ricky,Steve, Jimmy & Tommy, We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and dad. I was very fortunate to have spent many weekends and summers at your home in Hyde Park growing up. I have so many memories of Mr. Seward from years ago on Clifford St. and all of the Edison outings at Whalom Park. I'll always remember he was my best customer when I was selling my homemade Christmas ornaments. He is now at peace and resting comfortaby. I'm sure your dad and my mom will have plenty of catching up to do. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
