Dear Joanna,
We were shocked and saddened to read Dick's obituary in Greenwich Time (on-line). Doubly shocked because we had just received your nice Christmas Greetings on our return from Oregon.
We are so sorry. We often think of the happy days in Shorelands when you were our neighbors.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the family
Best wishes

To the Pastore Family:
I was saddened to read about the passing of Mr. Pastore. I will always remember his continual support at the GCDS athletic events, and the rides home from basketball practice!
