Dear Nancy and Family.
I've became friends with Ace back at Crawford Elem. Played ball and hung out just being young guys in Pa. He will be definitely missed. Just thinking about him reminds me of some great things we shared. My deepest sympathies to you and family.

Dear Nancy & Family,
Acey was one of my best friends. We were on the same basketball team in high school and Junior college. He was responsible for my success in both. I am saddened!!
May God give you peace during this time.

I am so sorry to hear about the unfortunate passing of "ACE". He was my first boss in the summer of 1977 (cutting grass for the city of duquesne), as well as I worked with him in the Blast Furnace at Duquesne in the late 70's/early 80's. God bless his soul and all of you..

Nancy and Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I just connected with Ace recently via email and was looking forward to seeing him on my next trip to the Burgh. May you find peace in the memories you cherish. I have a lot of memories of good times, as I am sure many folks do, with Ace.

Acey touched so many people's lives and inspired friends and family just by being himself. He taught us to look on the brighter side of life and not to take things too seriously. He would agree that even in death and grief, you can always find laughter and hope. Acey will be missed deeply by everyone, but our memories of him will live on forever. WE LOVE YOU ACE!
