To The Family of Bob,(Desi)Desiderio,
I know you don't know me but your Dad and I grew up together in Newark and were close friends. We went to grammer school together, played ball together as members of The Barons A. C. But unfortunately we lot touch when we went into the service. I also knew your Mom. Peggy and Desi were perfect together. I only wish I had known of his passing, I surely would have been there to say goodbye to my old friend. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
