To my great adopted family in NY. "MR. B", your father, was a truely great man. I loved him ever since Robinson Street and will miss him dearly. Remember that he is now in Heaven with my daddy "Mr. O" and look out God has his hands full now.. those 2 together again... Man, What trouble they will cause, I'm sure. I love you all and wish I could be there to hug each and everyone of you. Know that my prayers are there with you all during this time of sorrow. I'm here if you ever need me. Sometimes it's nice to know we have a little more in common than just friendships but the loss of a Great Dad!!!
Love you all :-)

Rich, know that Joni and I are praying for you and your family. The death of a loved one is never easy and never seems fair. It is because of our faith that we are able to get through these sad times in our lives. Faith in knowing your dad is in a now free from his pain and suffering and faith in knowing that God has welcomed him into his arms.

Dear Family of Horst: I met your Dad through my mother, Helen Wilk. They had been friends for some time and I had the opportunity to chat with him on several occasions. He was such a warm friendly person and brought such joy to my Mother. He will be missed. My sympathy to all of you.
