I met your father too late in life, having shared the same family name for many decades, although we were unrelated. My sympathies go out to you all. His passing must have left deep chasm. We shared several breakfasts together and I was proud to have searched successfully for his (our) name in the Prague memorial seven years ago. Be well.

To Ros,
I am so sorry to read of your dad's passing, and want to send you and your family bright blessings and my prayers. We went to school together, but I never really met you until college at UWM. I have heard so much about what a wonderful man your father was, and all the now-grown kids who remembered him so fondly as their beloved principal at Cumberland. I am sending my best wishes to you and your family in this hard time.
Sincerely,
Linda Scrimenti

Your Father was the vice-principal at Cumberland when my brother Mike and I were students there. He was always so truly caring and nurturing to all of us and was a man that always listened and helped his "kids"! Please, know that you are all in my thoughts and Prayers. He shall always be remembered with great fondness.
