We are so sorry for your loss. While we know you are mourning, we know that you rejoice that he is in heaven with your Mom and not suffering. It is always hard to lose a parent/grandparent no matter the circumstances. We have so many fun and happy memories growing up next door. We have been blessed to have known your Dad (and Family) for so many years.

Our two families shared decades together of many good times as the children of John & Irene and Joe & Sheila. With John's passing, we say good-bye to our parents and will work to keep their memories alive in our children and grandchildren. The sharing of this "Circle of Life" brings those of us that remember, so much closer.
With deepest sympathy,
Stephen and Paul
