Ingrid and I join with Paul in remembering our times together with you and Dick in Germany and in Spain. It was a long time ago, but in our mind's eye, it seems like just last year. We think of these times often. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for you and family.

Dear Theresa and Boys,

It seems like just yesterday we were all in Spain. Where has the time gone? My thoughts go back to I am sure a much crazier time. A time when we were all young and life could not have been better. Hopefully these happiers memories will bring some laughter to a very difficult time for all of you.

A big hug to you Theresa.
Regards,
Paul Sciortino

Dear Theresa & family,
It was with a saddened surprise that I learned of Dick's passing. I worked for him for many years at Raytheon. He was the best to me even after he retired we stayed in touch via emails. I will miss him dearly. Please accept my deepest sympathy and may the Lord give you the comfort to go on.

Affectionally,
