Dear Aunt Kay and Steve:
You both know how much we loved Uncle Ed. He was such a special man and I regret that we have been so far away all these years. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during the days ahead.

My sincere condolences to the LaPata family. Mr. LaPata hired me as a 15 year old kid, and taught me a work ethic that helped me to be successful in everything I have done. He will truly be missed.
