Dear Auntie Jo Ann:
We are so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a sweet and kind man. I always remember him telling me and my brother Lenny to do good in school and always listen to our mother. He was a sweet man and so respectable, and a great example to model. Danielle and Domenic will have your legacy of memories to share. I Love you Auntie, and value our
relationship and remember that his condition is a temporary one.

My condolences to the Goodwin family.
‘Goodie’ was a co-worker of mine in ‘old’ district four. Always good for a laugh and a smile…And it continued after his retirement, at Fenway Park! He’ll surely be missed.
