Dear Chris, Bob, Mike & Dan,

Your father was a great guy to know. I know that he'll be missed. I hope that you can take heart in knowing that he's been reunited with your mother & that you've got all of his old jokes to keep a smile on your face.

Sincerest condolences,
Joe & Cynthy Glinski

Dear Dan, Ellen and family, Our deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of your Dad. We used to enjoy watching them at Mass every Sunday when our family attended Mass at St. Catherine's. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

I have fond memories of Uncle Bob's sense of humor as well as softball games at family picnics and the family cottage in Monroe, NY. We also had family get togethers in his home; often with 20 plus adults and children!
