Rick, Sally and Eddie- Sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. There are no words one can really say to make what your feeling go away, but you dad is in a better place now with no pain or worries, hanging out with my dad again just like they did when they were kids in the falls. Your Cousin, John

Rick, Sally & Ricky
Our love and prayers have surrounded you ever since we realized that "Pops" was going through his struggles. Pops was a great American that loved his country. We salute him for all that he did for us. As you make your arrangements to take Mom and Pops home, if there is anything that we can do, all you have to do is call. I plan on being with you when you make the trip to New York...Pete will hold us up in prayer We love you and you are always in our prayers. God Bless you and Eddie, and everyone that ever considered Pops their friend.

Love, Beva and Peter Patera, Las Vegas, Nevada

Dear Rick, Sally, Eddie and families:

Our sincere sympathy on the passing of your father, Dick. I have many fond memories of your mom (my first cousin) Linda, and your dad, Dick. Please know you're in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do back here in WNY to help when you plan for the memorial service, please let me know. God Bless and watch over all of you. Thank you, Sally, for calling me when Dick passed.

Love,

Cathy (Angle) Niccola and Dennis Niccola
