Dear Billy and Family,

I've known your dad for so many years. He and my dad shared their offices together when they were in Holyoke. They were quite a pair together. Your dad made going to the dentist much easier. He was always so gentle. He taught you well, Billy. You are just like him.

Our sincere condolences - your father was a very special man.
