DEAREST SARA,
I hope you remember me. I am Barry and Carole Chooljian's cousin from Fresno, Bob Koligisn. I have the fondest of memories of Sparky and, having lost my Father one year ago, also, I know how deep the loss is to you, and to all of us who were privileged to have known Sparky. Please know that my prayers of support are with you and I hope that we see one another this year, with a smile, at the tennis in March. A smile, to the best of my knowledge, is the best way to honor...

I am Dads oldest son. Dad was always a very private person in our family. Always off at work, always moving on professionally but was basically a very good man and provider.
After my Mom died in 1991, Dad remarried quickly and lived a life separate from his first family.

Sara, my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Sparky was such a kind, gentle man. It was an honor to have met him.

I lost my Grandpa Jilly in 1992 and live across the country from my Grandpa Rich, so even though Scruffy was my Step Grandpa I never thought of him that way and he was very special to me. When I was younger and would visit my Grandparents in the desert, he taught me to ride my bike & how to swim under...

My granddaughter and I share a 'special
memory' of Bill. A few summers ago, at our complex in Tahoe, we came upon a tiny bird in distress. It's feet had become entwined in netting that was put on freshly planted grass seed. Not sure we could handle the task of freeing this little creature, we looked up the path, and saw an Angel (Bill) tending to his garden. After hearing of our dilemma, he immediately walked over, and with gentle, caring hands, freed the bird. The smile on my...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Sparky was one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I hope that all your good memories bring you some measure of comfort.

Dear Sara and Family:
Please know you are in our thoughts and hearts and we wish you comfort and loving memories of your dear Sparky.
Joy and all at St John Boutique, Palm Desert
