Dear Jean:
My deepest sympathy on the death of Warren. We worked together at DeFelice Realtors in the late 70's. He was so helpful to a new comer in the business. I will always be grateful and remember him for all his kindness and knowledge. Again my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Jean,
I am sorry to hear about Warren's passing. We grew up in Norwood, went to grade school, and were altar boys at St. William's Church. We met at the Aldrich High Reunion a few times and I believe my wife Pat and I met you at the last one although you may not remember us. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Jeanne,
On behalf of our whole family I send you warm hugs of support. I remember "Uncle Warren" fondly as he used to visit us when we were all little and he hadn't even met you yet! My Dad has kept us up to date on your lives over the years, and we are all so sorry to hear of his passing. I hope your memories of his healthier days make you strong.
With love,
Chris Giguere (John's daughter)
