To Sar's Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Sar's Passing. My husband & I worked for Sar at the Bradlee's (Stop & Shop # 426) in Somerville in 1964-65). Bobby and Sar would fight over the extra jelly donut every morning at breaktime. He was a great guy to work for.
Memories of Sar will always bring a warm feeling to our hearts & a smile to our faces.
Hoping that time & good memories will help ease your pain.

I am very sad for Mrs. C, Ann and all the gang. Mr. C was one in a million. Thanks to Mr. C we never went hungry because there was always something cooking on the stove on my daily dropins during High School. Even though he always gave me a hard time asking who invited me over I knew past his rough voice he never minded. For him it was the more the merrier. I know that you will all come through this together just the way he would have wanted it.
