Mr. McNeil,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN 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.

Jane and family,
So sad to hear about your dad's passing. Even though I only spoke with him a few times, he was always so nice to me. Discussing the 'boys in green' with him and waving across the parquet floor at Celtics games will always be fond memories for me.
