Mr. Coletta,
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.

Dena,
So sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was always so kind to me. I will always remember him as both Uncle Al and Freddie.

Uncle Al,
You are a great guy, who will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved you. Every time we have a sip of "city beer," we'll think of you. Rest In Peace.
