Frankie and Ralph,
I am thankful that I had the opportunity work for your father's company. I have fond memories of working with both of you, Jon and Tommy and many others.
Your father was truly a blessing to many employees and families.
I pray that God will continue to comfort and support you and your family.

Susan and Family, I was so sorry to read about your Dad and shocked to see that Jon had passed also. I lost my daughter 3 1/2 years ago at 23. It's left a hold in my heart to say the least. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all during your time of sadness. God Bless you all!
