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)

My deepest sympathy on your father's passing. I had the bittersweet
pleasure of meeting your father when he came to pay his respects to my
father (a fellow police officer). He was one of the first ones to come and I have always remembered him and how he spoke so fondly of my
father. I just wanted to pay my respects to him. May he rest in peace!

Dear Angela,
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 always remember him making his way down to the muddy baseball games at Foster School to watch Zach play baseball. He was such a nice man and I am sorry for your loss. I will keep your family in my thoughts.
