Dear Kathy, My heart goes out to you, you were your Daddys "Little Girl" I was a witness to that when I was your babysitter in the project. So many times I would have loved to see you when I lived in Albany. I now reside in The Villages, Fla. The next time I come to Albany I would love to see you. God Bless

Barry should also be recognized for his many years volunteering as a baseball coach and manager with the Colonie Babe Ruth League and Colonie Senior Babe Ruth League. He put in a lot of hours over about 8 years. A lot of fond memories and end of the season awards picnics will always be remembered by the youth whom we served.

Thank you Dad for the fond memories. I wish I had paid attention to your cooking lessons. I will miss your antipasta and chicken parmesan. Christmases will never be the same. As I held your hand and watched you take your last breath, a piece of my heart went with you. I'll always miss you Dad. Watch out for Hooch in Heaven. You know how he always bit you in the butt when you left my house! XXXOOO Kathie
