Not sure what to say?

Dear Ranfos Family, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. What a nice man, may his memory be eternal. Peter & I send our love.

Jill, Tina & Cathy-Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. My condolences to everyone. Sorry I saw the announcement so late. Uncle Angie... Spent a few hours of my childhood in the filling station and had a few cokes from that coke machine... it is funny what you remember. Well your Dad always had that smile and he always made me laugh with his quick wit. Quiet but to the point. I am sure your Mom is happy to have him by her side. Dee and I send all our love. God bless.

Jill, Tina and Cathy- please know that you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. Knowing he's in a better place helps numb the pain just a little. He wouldn't want you to grieve for too long- remember the good times. Norm and Nancy

My condolences to Angelo's family and friends. May he Rest In Peace.

The Ranfos Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with
your family during this difficult time.
God Bless you all.

It was wonderful having your parents as neighbors. It would make us smile to see him take his daily walks and feed the birds. Loved his free roadside vegetable give-aways! The family did a super job of taking care of him so he could stay at home as long as he did. We already miss seeing him out & about. Keep the memories close.

Mr.Ranfos, Thank you for your service RDM Windham NH
