Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Eammon, you know Buggs & I through my daughters, Angela Ferguson & Amber Guerra. We met your Dad at one of your plays many years ago. I remember him telling the story of how he put his kids thru college with the "Squeaky Clean" commercial. I remember that commercial well! I'm thankful we were able to meet him.
May God be with you and comfort all of you during these days to come.
All our love,

I vividly remember Eugene Roche's character in the motion picture "Slaughterhouse Five," which was a memorable motion picture with a very important message for me, as a young man at the time. Although I did not know Mr. Roche personally, I would venture to say that the man behind that role most probably reflected many posotove characterisitcs of the chartacter he portrayed in that film: A very kind, caring, compassonate, and loving human being.
