Please accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of Uncle Eddie. He was the last survivor of a large family. I knew him mostly in our younger years when I would visit my Grandparents. He will be dearly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Dugas. He was such a really nice man. I got to know him from him shopping at Ukrops. He would always stop by the customer service desk and talk with me when he was in. Unfortunately it had been over a year since i had seen him due to me transferring to the new Ukrops in Williamsburg. He was one of my favorite customers who i missed from the other store. Once again he was a good man and he will be missed greatly.
