Claire & Family:

We were away for the past two weeks and just got home late last night. Darlene & I are so sorry to hear about Buddy. Our deepest sympathy go to you and your family. Buddy was a great guy and it was great growing up with him as an older brother. We will all miss him.

Pappap,

A grandson couldn't have asked for a better grandfather. You made it to more of my baseball games then most grandfathers would who live at least 10 hours away. I know it wasn't easy drive for you but that just shows how much you really love to spend time with your family and how hard you tried to be there for your family and I really appreciated that. Now it will be a lot easier for you to make it to my games and you will have a great view from heaven. I'm really going to miss you.

Dear Claire, I am so sorry to hear about your tremendous loss. I worked with Lu at Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin and remember his smiling face and chuckles -- always kept a sunny attitude and went out of his way to help others. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Sincerely, Celene

Those who mean the most to us
Are never really gone.
For in our thoughts and in our hearts
Their memory still lives on
So may you find that passing time
Can somehow help to heal
Those memories will ease the loss
And sorrow that you feel. May God strengthen and help you and yours Maria. God Bless, Drew.

Sorry to read about your recent loss of your husband. We were ol shipmates in the Pentagon back in the early 60's. His final orders to the Supreme Commanders staff will be remembered in my prayers. God bless you and the family.
Fair winds and following seas.
