Dear Sylvia, Mrs. Hohri and Sylvia's sister,

I am so sad to hear of Mr. Hohri's passing. Mr. Hohri was truly an American hero, and as time passes further, his memory will always be present as new generations learn about the many courageous and important things he did.

My deepest sympathy to all of you.
