May the Lord ever bless and keep you during this bereavement period. I am so sorry to learn of Mr. Babitsky's passing. He actually hired me at TAX and, from that point on, I remember him being a very kind and caring man. Mr. Babitsky had a good soul and he never changed. I remember the great cooking also. April brought the best cookies during the Christmas holidays, especially the peanut butter chocolate drops. One could sense the spirit of love and celebration of life being instilled in this family. The benefit of living a good life, as Mr. "B" did, is leaving wonderful memories to be treasured by all who knew and loved him and God's preparation of an angel to watch over all of you. His spirit will live on because of impact he made on all our lives. Our earthly loss is truly Heaven's gain. God bless.

Mr. B as he was known to those of us that were fortunate to work for and with was a great mentor to me. He was funny, dedicated and knew his taxes - we had a great time - I am so sorry to learn of his passing - he used to talk about his wife frying squash blossoms and other delightful foods - he was truly a family man. I extend my deepest condolences. Peggy Robins Norris

I enjoyed working with "Mr. B" at the Department of Taxation. He always liked a good laugh. My deepest sympathies to April, Gina and the Babitsky/Rapisarda families -- you have lost a treasure.

Ski was a wonderful man whom we loved very much. We shared lots of stories and jokes about the Navy and will miss him, especially at the holidays.

Wally, as I called him, was a man who loved his family & especially the love of his life, the late Isonza "Helen" Rapisarda Babitsky, Skibo enjoyed his food, drinks, golf, medical expertise (medic in USN), and being a prankster.
I will miss those times, at every holiday gathering, where Wally would start with the humor as soon he hit the door . He was a peach. Rest in Peace, Sailor, "Bobber"

My deepest sympathy goes to the family of Walter. I worked with Walter at J C Penney . I will never forget Walter and his sweet gentle disposition. I am glad that I got to see him at the closing party of J C Penney Telemarketing. We had a very pleasant conversation and I will always remember Walter smiling and chatting with old associates. Once again you have my deepest sympathy.
