To Bobbie, Carter, Christopher & Maggie,
We lived accross the street from you in your first Barrington house, where I was a frequent babysitter for Bobbie & Carter. My memories of your father are only good ones, and will always remember his kindness, patience and serenity. May you always be all the more blessed by such memories.

Bobbie Carter, Chris and Maggie,
Heartfelt condolences to you all on the death of your father. He was a great person. I fondly remember caroling in Bedford Hills around the piano with Agnes and Ray Conron and our families when we were all quite young.
