My apologies for the lateness of this note. I just came across this sad news. My thoughts and prayers go to Dan, Elaine, and the entire family. The short time I had to interact with Ken I enjoyed his company. A good guy!

Dad
Today was Patti's memorial service, and you were supposed to be there. Instead, you were part of your brother's remembrance speech. This is wrong. I just want you back. Five minutes to say all I want to say.

Elaine,
I was so saddened to hear of Ken's passing. The times I had met him he was always smiling. I will keep you both in my prayers along with the rest of the family.

Joe,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. There is nothing harder in life than losing the people we love.

I am extremely saddened over the death of my Uncle Bunky. He was the funniest person in the family -- along with his father -- and he used to always make me laugh when I was a kid. I remember Bunky coming to visit us back when he was in the navy, and I remember Da and him cracking jokes together while we were all watching a Red Sox game back in 1975 or 1976. What a loss. My sincerest condolences to Elaine and the kids, and to the entire family.

Dad, we love you very much. there was no problem your guidance couldn't tackle. whenever there was a family gathering, you had the attention of the whole room when telling one of your many stories. i often found myself to be a part of the audience.

Bunky and I shared the great memory of a vacation trip we took to Florida in January of 1962. We drove there in his Chevy Corvair. He was very kind to present me last year with a DVD of the trip that he converted from his old 8mm film. I shall watch it next time with tearful eyes.

Uncle Bunky was so handsome, always smiling or laughing, and always doing things with the six of us Trudells. I remember in particular, one of my first scary movies.. with my brother Gary and Aunt Elaine, when Bunky took us into Boston to see Vincent Price in "House of Wax." I loved him, and want to send my love to Elaine, Marilyn, Joe, Danny, Kenny, my dad, and my aunt Gail.
Love,
Cousin Peggy
