Not sure what to say?

In 1975 I was working for my father at the Bloody Brook Bar in south Deerfield Mass when he came in to the establishment and politely requested if I could give him empty beer cans for which he would make these wonderful designed candles that he was crafting in his mothers cellar, I could not refuse and within the next few days I would have creative candles there as though they mysteriously appeared.

So sorry for the loss of your loved one. Yankee Candle is a mainstay in my home! May God comfort you during this difficult time.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies for the loss of your loved one, who will be remembered for his innovation that made people happy through the sense of smell. May you find comfort and strength in God during this time of mourning.

I am truly sorry about the passing of your loved one. May God strengthen your family during this time of loss. Deepest sympathies.

Mike.........we miss you so much

Wishing the whole Kittredge family blessings of peace and the knowledge he is at rest now. I met him once at Kringle. The Fall candles were out. He approached a group of older women saying he worked there. He entreated them to help decide which shade of orange they should use for the "new candle". He wore casual clothes, a sweater vest. They had no idea who he was!! He was delighted by them and the ladies by him. He had such a twinkle in his eye. When they were out of earshot I complimented...

Our condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Kittredge. Our prayers are that you are comforted and strengthened by the promise of a time when our loved ones dont have to encounter sickness.
