I was so saddened to hear of Mr. Rossi's passing. I got to know him during all his visits to the lab for bloodwork. I enjoyed our conversations about "our" Red Sox and although bloodwork is never pleasant, hopefully our talks helped to take his mind off his illness. That in itself would make my job worthwhile. May you rest in peace.

Dear Mary Jane and Family,
Bob and I will always remember Jimmy as a wonderful neighbor and friend. The memory of his warm smile and greeting will always remain in our hearts. He was like the icon of Stillwater Road. Whenever he spoke of his family, his eyes would light up. He loved you so much. After all he went through on this earth without complaint, he is surely with the angels and saints in heaven. When Jesus saw him, I can hear His words, "Well done my good and faithful servant." We will miss you, Jimmy. May you rest in peace, and may God comfort all of you in your sorrow. God bless.
With sincere sympathy,
Faith and Bob
