Hi Cuz,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your dad. He was a man so full of life. He knew how to enjoy family and friends. He and your mom are together again. My memory of them will always be of two people so different but so devoted to each other, and so proud of their son.
My deepest sympathy.

Dear Jackie,

Your Dad was an icon in the City of Malden, he will be greatly missed. I will always remember his quick laugh and his bright eyes smiling at me. He was a fierce campaigner. I will never forget him standing all by himself, holding a sign for Jim at different locations throughout the City when he ran for State Representative. Then, when the Sheriff's campaign came up, again I saw a light glowing in his eyes. Both he and your mom where down Headquaters everyday, standing side by side with us. Jim and I will never forget their loyalty, love and kindness, as well as their sense of humor. Another great memory I have is when he and I would work the numbers wheel at St. Rocco's Feast, we had a lot of fun. Your parents are together now, enjoying each other. We have our wonderful memories to hold on to. They will be deeply missed until we meet again.

All my love, Addie
