My name is Karen Rossi and I am a member of Transfiguration parish in Castro Valley. However, I grew up in Livermore and knew your Dad very well. He and my father, Herb Di Grazia, were among the first group of lectors at St. Michael's. After I got married and moved to Castro Valley, I missed not seeing him. When he moved to CV in 2005, it was so nice to be in touch with him again. I am one of the cantors and I would always see him at 11:00am Mass. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the funeral. I am an RN at Eden hospital and I have to work on Monday. Please know that I will be thinking and praying for him and all of you. I will always remember your Dad as a kind and gracious man. He will be missed!
With sympathy,
Karen Rossi
