Donna,

Sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. He was a sweet man and a very kind neighbor. When we first moved into the neighborhood, he made us feel so welcome and told us of his days in North Carolina. I remember seeing him sitting out front in his lawn chair soaking up the sunshine...he always gave us a friendly wave and a smile. Please know that we will be keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers through the days ahead, especially the holidays.

"When a father leaves so many happy yesterdays, his love will last through all of your tomorrows."

Mr. Diggs,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy 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.

Donna/Glenn "jr" - We will always remember your Dad as a warm and loving person who loved gardening and being with people. A gracious neighbor - many a time we would come home to find bags of tomatos/zucchini's on our doorstep and in the winter our driveway plowed! He was a wonderful Human Being and will be sorely missed but I'm sure he is enjoying being with your Mom once more. Our prayers, thoughts and love to you all - Wayne, Phyllis & Adam DiTocco
