Auntie Arlene, Randy, Glenn and Gerry,

Lani and I want to send our deepest condolences to you and your families on your loss of a husband, father and grandfather.
It doesn't seem that long ago that I was seeing him just about every morning at Market Basket in Culver City. I have always been very thankful to him for him getting me the job there. I learned some very valuable life lessons through the experience.
Again our heartfelt condolences.

Love,
Lani and Kirk
