Mr. Celeste,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II fighting the Japanese in the Philippines and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Kay, Cathy, John and Family:
Know that you are being held dearly in our thoughts and prayers. A sad time for all of you, but remember how he made us all laugh with his wonderful sense of humor! I will be forever known as "The Meat Lady", a distinctive name given to me by Chick, which brings a huge smile to my face each time the thought runs through my mind... He put up an admirable fight - may he rest in peace.
