Dear Donna &Family: I knew your dad through my cousin Nan. He was such a wonderful person, we met a few times when I was in Philly and talked occasionally over the phone. He was the strength for Nan when I could not be there and I will never forget him. My sincere sympathy to you and your family, he will be sadly missed by all. God Bless all of you Linda
