I wish health and peace to all the family, I miss you.

Dear Jane, Ramona, Barbara, and Nancy,

I was so very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I will always have very fond and loving memories of him and your mom; they were/are wonderful, loving parents. I am sure this is a very difficult time, but I'm also sure you will find comfort in your memories. I will always think back with great affection to those days long ago when Jane and I spent so much time at one another's home. I'm sorry I couldn't have been there to express my...

Dear Jane and Ramona,
I am so sorry for your father loss, my thoughts and prayers are with all of your family.
Back in 1977 I`ve been a few times in your house and still remember him.
He is now at peace; my heart goes out to your family.

Jane and family,

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. Although I never knew him or your mother, I too know what it is like to lose your parents. I didn't know that he was a fireman. Based on some of the comments I've read here, you should be proud of what he did. It sounds like he was a great guy. (It's been a long time since the St. Charles days). God Bless.

Dear Voccola Family:
We feel really sad about John dying! John was the perfect example of what a Fireman should be. He practiced what he preached. He was honest, conscientious and loyal to his colleagues! A good father and a very caring husband. We were there! We were a part of his life for 40 years as neighbors, friends and social buddies. We both feel sorrow knowing John and Dolores will no longer be with us.
Sincerely, Elinore and Sal Melilli

Dear Mrs. Nancy and her Family,
We missed your smiling face at dance and heard the news. I am sorry that your dad has passed away. Maybe he will meet my granpa Mel when he is in heaven. Our hearts go out to your family.

To the Voccola family
I go back a long time (35 years) on the BFD with Chief Voccola (Rocky).
He was tough at times but always had the best interest of the MEN.
He's a BROTHER who will be missed and I thank him for his influence on myself and other firefighters.
GOD BLESS YOU and keep you.

John was a very loving and special man who holds a special place in our hearts. We will miss him terribly. Our hearts go out not only to Barbara and Frank, but the entire Voccola family.
