Dear Joe, Jack, Tommy, and Nancy,



I am shocked and saddened to hear about the untimely death of your dear brother Gregg. He was so young and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him. He certainly was one of a kind; a talented and very witty guy.

My last recollection of Gregg was at Frani and Richie's annual pool party. There he was having a great time, playing cribbage and going down memory lane with the rest of us.

My heart goes out to all of you as you mourn the loss of your baby brother.

May he forever rest in peace,

Joni Bello
