Dear Pat & Family,
I am so sorry to hear that Tony passed away. The last time I saw you both was at the 50th Reunion. Although we didn't get together often we have been friends for more than fifty years. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. I didn't have your address to send a card.

Pat, I was so surprised to read the sad news about Tony from the article that was taped to the water machine when I stopped to get my spring water. I will always remember Tony's big smile. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I am so sorry for the family's loss. Tony was like a second Father to me and so many of Michael's freinds. His smile and wit will always be remembered by me. He always had a "pat on the back" for people who helped him out, and his genunine respect for people was his greatest gift.
All my love to the family through this time of sorrow.

A dreamer at best
His smile could attest
