Dear Frank, it is with sadness and sympathy to your family that I read the news about your dad today. Your dad was a happy man, who seemed to enjoy life, his family, his dog and his cars. I never knew your Mom but I always enjoyed your dad in our conversations through the years that most invariably wound their way to gardening as he over the years would bring us treasures from his garden. He also enjoyed showing us his cars especially that long white Dusseldoff? However, he said his dog was more comfortable in the Linclon. He proudly always said my son takes care of me when it come to cars, etc.. He liked driving...fast, flags flying, and his gentle dog at his right. Your dad will be missed by Sandy and I and the whole community of St. Mary's. He had his special seat there and he loved to talk with those around him before Mass. I regret that we won't be at the funeral because we are out of state. I wanted you to know that we too loved him and enjoyed conversation with him through the years. I KNOW YOU WILL MISS DAD, but know that he will always be with you in both your thoughts and within your heart.
Our prayers are with you during this sad time, a friend, Deacon Nick and Sandy CaraDonna
