Not sure what to say?

Mr. Petrie's work will always be remembered by all of the Hellegers family. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Ferdinand's iconic portrait of William Carlos Wiliams will forever be the image we will always remember. Last night at the Williams Center Gala it occupied center stage. He will be tremendously missed but his work will be eternal. My sympathy to his family and friends.

Ferd was a true gentleman and fantastic artist, My late husband and I loved to visit his home/gallery and be warmly greeted by Phyllis as well. He did a watercolor of Becton-Dickinson's water tower for Jim's 25th anniversary with B-D. We & our children cherish all of his works, which we have.
In sympathy,
Ellen Tobin
