Joby,
I know we haven't seen each other since high school, but many of my childhood memories are from spending time at your house.Your Dad was always so funny and very kind. Sorry to hear about his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care.

Joe, Sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

My heart is heavy for the whole family. He was a dear friend of minr and I will remember him fondly. His family always come first and he loved them dearly. I'm sorry I can't be there for the mass but my heart and prayers are withe the whole family. Sincerely, Janice Sewell
