Dear Dean
I am so sorry you have lost your Dad. Your folks were so much part of our Sagamore Ave neighborhood. It was a true surprise and delight to see them interviewed a few years ago about the '38 hurricane on PBS. I loved the wooden turnstile between our yards. Steve's still across the street and David is in Exeter.
Stay well,

My sincere sympathy to the family of Josef. I had been his CPA tax accountant with Al Marseglia for many years and am saddened by his passing. He was a wonderful man. I read it on line during my visit here in Austin, Texas and am sorry I could not have been at the memorial service.
