DEAR PAPADOPOULOS FAMILY, WITH SADNESS I CAME ACROSS THE OBITUARY NOTICE FOR YOUR HUSBAND AND FATHER WHILE READING MY 3 DAY OLD ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE TELEGRAGH. I WAS HOPING TO CATCH UP ON THE NASHUA HAPPENINGS SINCE I LEFT. I'M GLAD I DID. I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR DAD WAS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE PEOPLE..HE MADE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES, ABOUT FAMILY AND ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL. THIS REALLY GOES BACK SUCH A LONG TIME AGO, BUT WHEN I THINK BACK TO THOSE TIMES, I HAVE SUCH POSITIVE MEMORIES OF YOUR DAD,YOUR FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY OF THE FOUR OF YOU... AS THE LUCKY KIDS WITH REALLY GREAT PARENTS. WITH LOVE AND SINCEREST CONDOLANCES, TRACY MERRILL-DANZIGER
