Hard to believe that four years have passed since Babe left us we always had great times playing softball and winning the 1965 state industrial championship for Sisalkraft where by the way some really fun times especially the night shifts where you never knew when the next water bucket was going to get you fun times at Gus's Grill as well as lots of other fun times again condolences to the whole family especially Steve and Jeannie God bless Babe

Babe was a vey kind man. He was always very nice to me when I was growing up. He was very very nice to my mom dad and my brothers. He did have a great sense of humor similar to my dad's. Blessings to Babe and all his family and friends past and present.

Mike and family ~ Elsie and I are so very sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in all our thoughts and prayers . Kim also .

Donna, David and I send our deepest sympathy for your loss. David was remembering the many days that they spent from early morning until the sun went down playing baseball and football with Babe. They shared the same Birthday, a year apart. We pray the Lord comfort you and the family during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Uncle Babe taught me how to swing this bat to become a hitter instead of wiffer when I played little league baseball with the boys.

Very sad to hear about Babe.My heartfelt condolences & sympathy to Jennie,brother Steve & all of his love ones. Babe & I were best friends all thru Attleboro HS & thru out our younger lives & beyond. We played football & basketball together, he was a fine athlete & a great friend.alot if great memories of fun & good times. Will miss him greatly. May Babe rest in peace & God be with him & his love ones.

My condolences to Babe's family. I was a sophomore at AHS when Babe was a senior. I also remember his sister, Donna, who was also a good person. I remember Babe fondly as a great athlete and considered him a friend who made some time to spend with a not so athletic sophomore. I especially enjoyed that we shared a similar sense of humor. He was a fine human being. I believe all who knew him were better for the experience. Christ's peace and blessings to you.
