Dear Pat and Family,

Please accept my condolences and those of my family on the passing of your Father. I will always remember my Dad talking about Frank Reddy and how important Local 251 was to them. It was at my Dads knee that I learned how important it was to be part of a Union. Only elderly years will steal the memories I have of my Dad and his stories of Frank Reddy and the members of Local 251. Accept our thanks for all of his hard work on behalf of the "working man". It will not be forgotten.....On behalf of my father, Richard, please accept our heartfelt sympathy..I'll always remember the years at the Providence Police Department.

Sincerely,

Anne Louise Paolilli
