I have not seen Pancho in a long time but remember him from St. Hedwig's, Polish Falcons on Saturday night and basketball games in North Trenton. Elaine and I are in Florida and will not be able to be at the viewing nor the Mass. Please accept our sincere sympathy. Poncho was always fun to be with and because of his size he always was my "bodyguard" whenever things gog "shakey" at the Polish Falcons bar

To Tommy;s family:
I worked at City Hall for a number of years. Tommy and Paulie his work partner I saw nearly every day.
Tom was a really great guy with a huge sense of humor. Paul was his straight man. Tom never failed to bring a smile to my face and was a consumate gentleman.
I share your loss in a super nice guy.
May he now rest in a painless peace.
With deepest sympathy
