Mrs. Filipek, we met years ago when you and your husband travelled to see Bob, Jr. play football at RPI. After meeting your husband, it was obvious where your son got his sense of humor and joy for living life to its fullest. My sincere condolences to you and the Filipek family.

My condolences to your family. What a great influence your dad had on the young guys of Runnmede seemed he was always around helping in some way whether it was RYAA or the Red and Blue Club at Triton he was there for us. I am sure there is meeting in heaven and my dad Mr McCarthy and all of those other great men of Runnemede are welcoming him to his new club. Billy Marino
