I am truly sorry for the loss of a great man. Tom welcomed me into the neighborhood and was always a pleasure to talk to when I saw him walking Max. He will be missed.

Dear Cousins;
I only learned of your father's passing a little while ago. It was not really a surprise, however, since my Dad has been keeping me informed. I believe he was receiving updates from Uncle Walter.
I only had a few brief visits with your parents and most of those were long ago. Still, I have strong and very fond memories of both of them. And I was lucky enough to see you and your Dad again in August 2007 at the time of the big reunion. He certainly made an impression. I am sure everyone who knew him has many interesting stories. He enjoyed a long, full life.
I hope all of you are doing well and that we can talk again face-to-face before too long.

Dear Gary, Kit, Denise, Frank, Patty, and Kathy,
I was so saddened to learn of your father's passing. His dedication to his country was something I will always remember. He was such a kind soul that brought such pleasure to the students of Branford as we volunteered and worked together over many years.
May He Rest In Peace.
Truly Yours,

Dear Gary, Kit, Denise, Frank, Patty, and Kathy,
So sorry to hear of your father's passing. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Glad that you could all be there at the end and that he was at home.
Reading his obituary reminds me of what an incredible man he was - so much service to others and such an active member of his community.
The trip to and from Ct would be too tiring for my mother, so we will wait and attend the burial in Vermont when that occurs.
Much love,
Cousin Lisa and Aunt Martha

One of the last of "The Great Generation" May the Good Lord grant him and all the faithful departed eternal life and let perpetual light shine upon them.
