I am very sorry for your loss. I will always remember what
good neighbors you all were and the fun times we had together. I still have pictures of the trip we all took to N.Y. State together. It was good to think back to the good memories of the Woodside Ave/Haledon community. God Bless you all. Chris Holte/Sorensen

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. My father saw the obituary in the local paper and shared it with me. I was Chris Holte's best friend. I remember all the fun times we had on Woodside Avenue. I have emailed Chris as well. My thoughts go out to you during this difficult time.
