Dear David, Fred, and Bobby: My sincere condolences to you. I have great memories of growing up and being in your house on Imperial Road and your dad laughing and joking with my dad. It has certainly been a sad year and a half for the Cordella family. Although it's been awhile since I've seen any of you, please know my mom & dad and sister Jeannie's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,
your cousin Judi (Cordella)

Dear Dave, Fred and Bobby, Please accept my heartfelt condolences ? To me your dad was one of the most respected men l've ever known . He believed in me while others wrote me off. While growing up your home was like an amusement park. To this day l don't know how your parents put up with all of our antics. 24 lmperial Rd. was the center of the universe for many of us. Take Good Care, Curry D.
