To John Trapp-from Tom Calandriello: John, my mother called to make me aware of your Dad's passing. I was just remembering this past Memorial Day how your Dad tool us all to see John Wayne in the Longest Day at the Beverly theater on your bithday , June 6th. I'll always be grateful to your mom and dad that they chose to move to St. Ethelreda in the '50s and just down the street from our house on Paulina Street all those years ago. My condolences to you and Bill and your families. Tom and Karin , Park Ridge, Il.

Ray, Bill, John and familes,

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know your Dad. To me, and I'm sure many others, he was a great man. May you find solace in knowing he and your Mom are together again.

With Deepest Sympathies,
