Mela, Joannie, Frank and Christine,
We just learned of the loss of your dear Dad and extend our deepest sympathy to you and your families. He was a very good friend/neighbor/hunting buddy of Dad's for many years. And, I can still see him with a smile at your kitchen table, Rusty by his side, and driving the old Chevy on Peverell Street. What wonderful memories we shared back then!
Love and comfort to you all during this difficult time,
Maureen Sullivan O'Boyle

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

To the Family of Frank Chimi,
We only had the privilege of knowing Frank for a few short months, but in that time he touched the hearts of all of us. He was quick with a joke and always put a smile on our faces and we will miss him dearly. He had nothing but kind words to say all of the time. May you all find comfort during this difficult time knowing he is at peace and in a better place. The love and support he recieved from all of you these past few weeks was the perfect example of a family's love and devotion.
God Bless all of You,
Marilyn Fox and the staff at Grove Manor Estates
