To Terry and Teresa, I am so sorry to hear that Uncle Louis passed away. He was such an endearing character who always made sure he had wonderful vegetable gardens. I enjoyed our Cioppino feed a few years ago. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

To the family of John
I am sorry to hear about your brother/uncle. I had no idea that he was ill. I guess that is why I hadn't seen him lately at Cindys. I was a neighbor from the back of his house on Laurel Ave. The world has lost one of its greatest gardners! May fond memories help ease your sorrows.
