Dear Yobbi Family:

I have wonderful childhood memories of times at Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Mario’s house in Baldwin -- get-togethers with everyone happy and having fun. “Mr.” Al was so tall – and I was so little, but he was such a nice man and I remember him well.

Please know I’m thinking of your entire family and wish to extend my sympathy to all of you.

Sincerely,

Sandy Zdrale (Joe Verna’s daughter)

I am so sorry about the passing of your father. As a policeman I know he has been a good friend to my dad and was also to my Uncle John.

I will keep your family in my thoughts.
