Dear Fischetti Family: Such wonderful people, Rocco and Mildred were. We met on a V.A. trip to Russia in April 1975 and they took me under their wings. They invited to their home for dinner in 1977 to meet my husband and firstborn. They were the salt of the earth—charming and delightful. I have never forgotten them. Blessings to the family.

Dear Barbara, Sheri and Rox - Sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I hark back to the memories of along ago of our Xmas holidays together. He was such a delightful gentleman and always had a great smile on his face. Hope all goes well with you - take care - Marlene Epstein

Dear Barbara, Roxanne and Sheree, having lived across the street from your parents for 20 years in what they always referred to as the Cho's house was a pleasure beyond words. I've never met a more loving couple who cherished their children and grandchildren. I'm blessed to have so many memories and stories about them. When your Dad would go out to pick up the morning paper in his maroon bathrobe with his hands clasped behind him we started to refer to him as the Pope. My sincere sympathy on the loss of such a wonderful loving man. May knowing he is finally together once again with you mom bring you peace of heart.

Hello Sheree
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know your father personally but I met his spirit in you! From the stories and the pictures, your father was a wonderful man surrounded by a loving family. May your sorrow be lightened by the number of years that you were blessed to have him and by the memories that he left you with. Be strong and know that you were an excellent daughter/friend to your father.
God Bless YOU ALL!

Dear Barbara Walker,
While I did not know your father personally, I knew the amazing person he was through you, my wonderful fourth-grade teacher at Gaithersburg Elementary. Your father and mother raised a big-hearted person; you invited your entire class to your wedding to Neil at the old St. Mary's Church in April 1966. (The "new" modern church next door was still a pile of cinder blocks; I have photos!) I'll never forget what a thrill and honor it was for the nine-year-old me to attend my teacher's wedding! Then there were all the times I was delighted to see you and your sisters at the Woodley Gardens Swim Club. Good times!
I add my condolences on the passing of your father with hopes that your warm memories of him will bring comfort and smiles. He and your mother are together again, and the reunion is glorious.
Sincerely,
Nancy Zanner Correll
