John, my prayers are with You, and your Family. I am so sorry for your loss of your Dad.
You Father was always a Gentleman, and a Great Boss. I know he is very proud of you.

I was truly saddened to hear of Tom´s passing. Each year when Danny and I came up for our annual golf outing with our old high school friends, we always made it a point to arrive early so we could have lunch with Tom and his buddy, the police chief. Those lunches became something I really looked forward to.

Even though I didn´t know Tom growing up, he always welcomed me like an old friend. He had an easy way about him, and our conversations were always a pleasure. Spending that time with him showed me what a genuinely good man he was, and I´ll always be grateful for those moments we shared.

I´m glad to know his passing was mostly peaceful. Please accept my heartfelt condolences-you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
