Dear Harriet and family. We are so sorry and saddened by DooDoo's passing. We are in CA visiting our grandchildren and wish we could have been closer. We share your grief and will miss my cousin's calls. He never said goodbye without saying "I love you, Jiggy." Goodbye Doo-Doo, I love you. Jiggy

Dear Don, Mary and Mrs. Saccente... we are so soryy for your loss. We had a lot of great times as neighbors in Wethersfield and are grateful that we have been friends ever since.

We hope you find comfort in knowing how much your Dad was loved and how fondly he is rembered after all these years... Sincerely, Jim & Will Harris

Harriett, We are so sad to hear about the passing of Don. You and Don were so helpful to me when my dad and Rosemary lived next door to you before they passed. May the memories of Don live within your heart forever.
