Mr. Azevedo,
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 USCG 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.

Semper Paratus!

Uncle Bob brought laughter to me every time I met with him. His quick wit kept everyone on their toes.
Will miss you Bob, but now you can join Rita. So sorry for your loss Janet, Steve, Jenna and John. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With love, Maureen

For 22 years, I had the pleasure of living across from your dad. I knew that a kind, private man lived in the house. Today, I know that he lives with your mom and that they are OK. I will say a prayer for them and you all today.
