Dear Jennifer and Family:



We are so very sorry. Sal and I both have great memories of your Dad. Sal tells the story of the day they went "rock collecting" all the time. I will always remember him laughing at his own jokes. Your Dad was the life of a party. He will be missed a lot.



Love,



Sal and Noreen

Joan, Tom & Jenni-we were your next door neighbors in Hanover Park. Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. He was a wonderful man. I have fond memories of all of you as great neighbors. It was nice to run into Joan at Home Depot a few years back.I am home recuperating from surgery, working on old photo albums. I just put some pictures in of Jenni and Sherilyn at her birthday party. Our prayers are with all of you-Tim, Sherilyn, Regina(Gigi)
