To the Murphy Family,
Our condolences to you on the loss of your father. He was a Canandaigua icon and was good to the folks at Rosepark, where our Mom lived. And your Mom played bridge in my mother's group & would often see her on a walk there. Two nice people. Prayers to you all.

We'd like to express our sympathy to Bob's family. We did not know Bob well, but remember him as a former president of our homeowners board and member of our town house community. He was a real gentleman. May he rest in peace and may your memories bring you comfort.
