Not sure what to say?

I wish to express my sorrow to the Tranquilli family. This may sound strange, but I think your father may have been schoolmates with my father, Harold Walker of Auburn, born july 3rd 1918. Dad used to mention his childhood friends, and never left out a "Kayo" Tranquilli. Could this have been John?

Dear Judy and family:
We're so sorry for your loss. No matter how old your parents are, you're never ready to lose them. Your dad had a zest for life and what a great way to live it. You and your family have our deepest sympathy.

Dear Judy, Rita & family,
So sorry to hear of your Father's death. Wish I really had gotten to know him and his quick wit. Interesting that he and Dad were cousins, both born in December and avid Cub fans. I know you will miss him dearly.
Sincerely,
Tallulah Redeford

To the Tranquilli and Johnson Families:

We are so deeply sorry for your lost. We always enjoyed Grandpa Johnny stories, he must have been a wonderful man to have such a great family.

Thinking of you all!

We were so sorry to hear of John's death.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Tony is in the hospital right now so I don't think we will be able to come to the funeral, but we will be thinking about you.

Dear Judy and Family, We were so very sorry to learn of the loss of your Father, John. Tony has very fond memories of your Dad and thought he was a great fellow. I remember seeing him at his Big 90 BD Party and he was surely enjoying himself. He has earned his reward. Sincerely, Tony and Bobbie Berola

I delivered uniforms to John and to the farm for many years. I am very sorry for your loss and I know he will be deeply missed. He was a good man and a friend.
