Dear Chip,
Jim and I are so sorry you lost your Dad. My thoughts of him are always fun memories, even though I am twenty years younger and the youngest of that genereation of cousins. As I recall one of the things he use to say whenever there was a gathering at a meal and said to everyone "stop using that butter, do you know what it does to you?"
Seriously Chip we wish you all peace, I am sure he has his. Be well!

Dear Family of Frank,

Frank worked part time at the now closed Hill Pharmacy in Roslindale, a section of Boston, MA, in the late 1940's and early 1950's, while he worked days as a detail man for Wyeth. I worked with him, mostly nights between 6-10 pm as a high school and college student. I always enjoyed working with Frank. He had an easy and friendly nature. He was always willing to help out when things got busy at the soda fountain and other areas of the store. He shared his stories of WWII and his studies at Franklin Tech Institute, and was always willing to drive me part way home after closing. I have often thought of Frank over the years as one of the very good and positive influences on my early life. God bless him and give him peace.
