Mr. Fountas,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dear Sophia and George,
We were very saddened to hear of your dad's passing. You were very lucky to have him for so long. I am sure it will be a great loss to both of you. Our deepest sympathy.

My condolences. I remember when my father went out of his way to make sure Bro. Fountas enjoyed himself on that day he helped him.
