To Steve Jr. and the entire Parisi Family:

I extend my deepest condolences of Steve Sr., a remarkable man and close friend of my own Dad. Dad and I had many conversations of his relationship with Steve and Dad would always have a twinkle in his eye when he spoke of his dear friend. They were War buddies and I know they are together in a place where we shall all see them again.

GodSpeed, Mr.Parisi.........may you rest in Eternal Happiness and Peace.

Warm Regards,
