Dear Libratore Family:
Your dad was good friends with my dad Peter. They shared many good times in Masonry.
He was a joy to be with and I missed seeing him at our lodge meetings.
We regret that we are unable to attend in person to express our sympathies.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these difficult times.
Sincerely,
How you can show support

Thinking of John invokes memories of him playing pitch with me when I was a young kid, working on my bicycle or just playfully picking at me. In all my memories of his visits he had a smile on his face or laughing about something. John was just fun to be with. It may be cliché to say our loss is heavens gain but it is so true. I feel empty like the passing of an era. The news of Johns' death is so saddening. I will truly miss knowing that John was enjoying life and being well taken care of at Mark's house. God bless you Mark and Cindy for your gracious dedication to your parents. You have my heartfelt sympathy. I would also like to extend condolence to Brenda and Ronnie and wish you all the very best.
