Mr & Mrs Lapglia, Amanda, Michael & Chelsa,

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Babe. I was not a close freind of Babe but I did know him and I shall always remember him as a gentleman. He was always very proud of his children and the love he had for them was very evident. My prayers will be for all of you in this difficult time.

To The Lapaglia Family,

I send my deepest sympathy and prayers for your family. It has been many years since I had spoken with or seen Babe but from all that has been written about him on these pages it is evident that he was still the great person that I knew as a kid.

I pray that the Lord will put his hand of comfort upon your family at this difficult time.

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters; I will be with you; when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:1-3

To the entire Lapaglia Family:

There aren't enough words available to express my sympathy to you at this time of loss. I would like to say that when I think of "Babe" all that comes to mind are "F" words. HE WAS A GREAT FATHER WHO WAS FOREVER TALKING AND DODING ABOUT HIS CHILDREN. HE WAS A GREAT FAMILYMAN WHO LOVED HIS PARENTS, SIBLINGS, & CHILDREN IMMENSELY. HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND THAT I ONLY BECAME CLOSE TO OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. LAST BUT NOT LEAST I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY FORTUNATE, FOR KNOWING SUCH A FINE MAN...WHO WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!

I was heartbroken to hear of Babe's

passing. When we were younger and going dancing every weekend, Babe was always there to hang out with us. He was a great guy, and I for one will miss him.You could always count on him as a friend. It's been awhile since I saw him last, and I am shocked to have seen this. He will be sorely missed by anyone who knew the " BABE ". My heartfelt sympathy.

Babe was, quite simply, one of the finest men we could ever know. His humor, dedication and loyalty to friends and family was unparalled. Be assured, his ascent to Heaven was swift. We are proud to call him our friend and will miss him with all our heart.Every time we think of the good times at Yesterday's with Babe and the boys we will smile.Bob & Kathy Bennett
