WILLIAM PORDY

Dear Robert,
I would like to express my sympathies for the passing of your brother Bill. I usually send him a New Year’s greetings around this time of year, and saw his obituary in the Times. Of course, I was not surprised, and in fact had been waiting for this to happen. It has been a couple of years since we last spoke, but I know how determined he was to keep going and keep up his interests in the many things he loved despite his illness, and was delighted that he was able to see it...

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time of grieving. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
