Grampa YOU ARE TRULY MY BEST FRIEND, I will love and miss you forever. It amazes me all that you have always done for everyone and I hope that some day Corey grows up to be even half of the gentleman that you are. Every time I hear our song I will think of you. We will all watch over Nana for you. I love and miss you.

XOXO

Love Always,

Your Best Friend,

Jackie

Dad, There is no way to thank you for all that you have done for me and my children. Mom and you played a big part in helping me raise them, they all love and respect you. You were their constant source of guidance and strength, they knew Grampa would always know the right thing to do. You were their King. I had the privilege not only of being your daughter, but being your Colleague when we worked at Braintree Hospital together. I learned a lot from you, not everyone had an Associate Professor of Tufts Medical School helping them with their A&P and neuroanatomy studies. I remember when I was on the night shift, I would come out after it had snowed to find my car all brushed off, even the headlights, so that I could get home after a long night. I know I was lucky to have you for so long, but no matter how old I am, I wonder how I will get along without your guidance and love. I will help to look after Mom, but as you know she is a strong woman, and she actually has been comforting us.
I will keep you tucked in my heart forever. Love, Lainey

Sir, you were a wonderful father-in-law. I will miss your wisdom, your kindness and especially your sense of humor. I enjoyed our many conversations and watching the ball games with you. I will remember the recent day we spent together just hanging out talking and watching the food channel while we ate lunch. You welcomed us into your family. I can see a lot of you in Elaine, she is very much like you. I appreciate all that you have done for our family, we were lucky to have such a great role model.. You will be missed in all of our lives. Respectfully, Billy

Mrs. Fidrocki I am so sorry for your loss. You were my first head nurse back in the 70's at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital. I remember Dr. Fidrocki stopping by to talk to you. I always thought you had a wonderfully, loving relationship. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Flo Capone

As a physical therapist I first met Dr. Fidrocki at Lemuel Shattock Hospital and then at Braintree Hospital. His expertise and respect for staff is strong in my memory. We all loved his clinics and felt we could approach him easily.
My condolences to all

Grandpa, you are the person that everyone looked up to. You taught us all how to enjoy life and how to survive through tough times. Your stubborness and unique ways of doing things kept you with us for 90 years. I am blessed to have been able to spend 33 years with you and take care of you when you needed it most (even when we had differing opinions!). I am grateful that Brendan had 15 years to get to know and love you. It is special to me that I was your first grandchild and Brendan was your first great grandchild. I can only hope that Brendan will grow up to be like you. I will cherish every moment we had together and promise to take care of nana. You are my hero and a one of a kind grandfather. I love you and already miss our intense discussions about your medications and doctor's visits! You are my sunshine and I will think of you every day. Rest in peace. Love Tina
