Dear. Dr. Bill, I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I have been "your favorite patient" for years". It was brought to my attention by my dad, Deacon Armand Ragosta, who would bring communion to your dad when he was ill and who served at the funeral mass at St. Mary's Church. May God comfort you and your family during your time of sorrow. Try to find comfort knowing that one day we will all be reunited again.
Deepest Sympathy,

It is with great sorrow that we would lose a man like Adolph. My mother (the late Anna Allen) worked with Adolph for many years. He treated her with the utmost respect. His kind heart made her feel important and loved. He was a dear friend that is going to be missed. My deepest condolence goes out to the family in this harsh time. You are in our hearts and prayers.
