Not sure what to say?

Goodbye old friend;I will cherish your memory forever. You were such a thoughtful gentleman; throughout our "probate association"it never
occured to me to address you as "John"-you will always be Mr,
O'Donnell, or maybe Commissioner -
and I will miss our occasional telephone calls and notes since
retirement. Rosalie Sorvetti

Grandpa- I have such fond memories with you. From taking us for a milkshake to reading the comics during breakfast together, I loved all of them. I will miss you and will always cherish the time I had with you.
All my love to you.

Love your granddaughter,
Amy


I live in the same building as Judge and Mrs. O'Donnell. It's been a pleasure seeing them as I have a lot of respect for people of my parents' generation-- specifically San Franciscans of that era. It is really nice to interact with someone who treats you like a "neighbor"-- a forgotten art that the world needs a little more of. Best to the Judge on a life truly well spent!

Grandpa-
We will always cherish our time in San Francisco with you & Grandma. From our younger years of you on the piano while we were dancing to "A Spoon Full of Sugar" til our last trip when you & Grandma took Charlie, Luke and I to Golden Gate Park. We will miss you! We Love you!
