Thinking of the time the RR sent you to New Haven and I was working at WPLR. I forget which show we saw but we were laughing all night like clowns. Miss you already. And love to you, Gail.

So sorry to hear of Buffy's passing. He and I were very close friends when we were young. We lived two houses apart on Barker Road, and were nearly inseparable during the 1960s. I have fond memories of watching Batman every Wednesday and Thursday nights at his home.

Our brother-in-law , Brian was such a kind guy. Whenever we saw him he always had a smile on his face. And his laugh... if you knew you knew. Bri was always willing to lend a hand and help anyone in need, whether it was a family member, a friend, a coworker, or a complete stranger. We are so grateful that Brian was an amazing husband and best friend to our sister, Gail for 24 years. He fit into our crazy family perfectly and he will be missed dearly by all of us. Rest easy, Brian.
Love,
Kim and Anthony Stracuzzi

The three of us were always together and we had many laughs, good and bad times. I will treasure all of the good memories. I think there is a party in heaven.
