To Charlotte & Family,
I will miss his smile that greeted me 5 days a week at work. I will miss talking with him about anything & everything. I will miss his strong work ethic and how he always had my back. I admired how much he loved his wife and family and how they were his top priority. Most of all I will miss the man himself and someone I am honored to call my FRIEND. I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know he will be forever in my heart and forever loved.

To the family of Tommy DeFalco my prayers are with you. It is a very difficult time but you will get through this. What can I say to my next door neighbor that I grew up with along with Nicky and Sue. I will remember all the good times. My first reaction was OMG I can't believe it. Life is too short.
My thoughts will be with you in this time of sorrow.
