Mr. Cremins,
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.

Our deepest sympathies on the passing away of Leo. He was a fine and gentle man and appreciated by us all. He will be dearly missed.
Keep your faith and strength. God bless you all.

Dear Aunt Dot, Paul and family:

I was so sad to hear of Uncle Leo. I have so many fond memories of him, two in particular. The first is the many shopping trips Ann and I made to Inman Square and looking for Uncle Leo at the firehouse. The second is when I was at St. Paul's school and Uncle Leo came to talk during Fire Prevention Week. The girls in my class thought he was so handsome, I was so proud. He was the last of the "uncles", and I will miss him.
Love,
Alice
