Jean and Frank,
Sorry to here the loss of Uncle Bill. I have nothing but fun and great memory's of mister fix-it at Trattoria D' Antuono from the dishwashers to the front of the house problems. I owe a lot to him he showed me how to use a mitor-box. My prayers and thoughts are with you right now and I know he is somewhere fixing a big leak.

Not sure who will be reading this but my sincere sympathy on the loss of my Uncle Billy. My husband Richard use to work for you when he was in high school and learned so much from you. I haven't seen you in years but would think of you from time to time and ask my Aunt how you were doing in case she knew.
To Uncle Billy's family again my sincere sympathy.
Your niece and her husband,
Patty & Richard Veilleux of Connecticut
