Dear Priscilla , Mari and Richard ,

Richard and I were good friends in High School, I saw him through the years while I lived in Needham , he was always a gentleman and a solid friend, we had many laughs together in high School.
He came to my Fathers , Mothers and Sisters ( Patrica Welch ) wake.
I agree with the comment under his picture in our 1961 Year book

" He gave the world assurance of a

Man."

I will miss him , always.

" For He has made us for Himself

and our hearts will be ever

restless,

until it rests in

Him,"

St. Augustine

I will be thinking of you all and hope my prayers will help you get through the emotional maze you are facing for sometime to come.

God Bless you ,

With Love ,

Peter Fantegrossi
