Ursula, Robert, Ursula and the rest of the Volosevich/Cunniffe family, I extend my deepest sympathies during this most difficult time. I have many fond memories of Rappy and I am so grateful that he (and Ursula) were able to attend my surprise birthday party last year. It was wonderful to see you both again. To Robert and Ursula, i have never met a dad who was so proud of his children and he couldn't stop talking about all of your accomplishments. He was beaming with pride. I know you will all miss him dearly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Michelle Bolstad

Ursula, Robert and Ursula - I am so sorry to hear of Rappy's passing. I will never forget when my Mom and Dad lived downstairs from you, and how much they enjoyed your family. You and Rappy always watched out for them, especially my Mom after my Dad passed away. They loved all of you. Frank joins me in sending love and prayers to you at this sad time. Much love, Robbie
