Dear Annie and Mossey,
Ralph and I were very saddened to here of your dad's passing. As a fellow graduate of the Cathedral class of '70 and next door neighbor to your dad, and working with him on political committees, I know what a man of integrity he was. He was a great neighbor and we have missed him since he moved from California Avenue. May he rest in the peace of Christ and may you take comfort in your memories of him.
In sympathy,
Rosanne and Ralph Stirlacci

Mossey and Annie, I know you hae heard this many times, but your Dad was SOOO proud of your accomplishments! I worked with him at Holyoke Medical Center and not a week went by without him telling me of your accomplishments. I really enjoyed working with him and maintained contact with him after I left HMC. Between his puppies and his two kids....that was his life. I am so sorry for your loss.

Moss and Annie, when I was told today my heart broke. Your Dad was one of my best and devoted friend I've had. We had our moments we didn't agree but quickly moved on but even not on the same side we stood side by side which goes to show you the best person and so few of them. Annie he was so proud of you the most important and best of his life was you and your brother. Moss he was so happy you found your direction and then such a wonderful woman to share your life with. You need to know...

I remember Mossey from the St. Patricks' Day Parade Committee in Springfield. He was a great guy and very respected. He was a great friend.

Moss was one of the finest people I have ever known. May he rest in peace.

He was a good man that had a positive influence on many lives. Father of two wonderful kids that I'm sure he is very proud to call his children. He is now in a better place watching over us all. Rest in peace.

Annie and Mossey,


I was very saddened to hear of your father's passing. I have known Moss since the days of Holy Cross Grammar School. At UMASS we had a lot of fun talking about jazz, literature and all things political.

I never met anyone more proud of his children's accomplishments than your dad.



Best regards.
