Dear Dave,
Bob and I, Callie and Chris send our deepest sympathies on the loss of your Dad. In reading the obit today, I was so impressed by what a wonderful life he had, and the many hats he wore.

We all wish you, Illa and the kids prayers for safe travel to Maine and a lovely service. God bless you all.
Fondly, the Andolina's

To Dave and the rest of the Burbank Family, I am sorry for your loss.

To the Burbank Family:
I am very sorry for your loss of Benny (and Hannah, Queen of Quite a lot). I will never forget his devotion to his wife and the beautiful morning music. They left quite an impression on me in the short time I knew them.
