My deepest sympathies to Paula, Shane, & Mrs. Kuzaro on the loss of Mr. Kuzaro. I have wonderful memories of him working in the garden at the Chester Post Office. It was easy to see how much he loved making flowers and plants grow.

Our condolences to Rose and family. We have known Joe all our lives as he was a good friend of our parents, Walt & Jennie Smith. He was also a good friend to my husband, Jim Davis. They were both Little League coaches and members of the Chester Hose Company. He was a great guy and a good friend and will be sorely missed. This message is coming from Florida and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
