Dear Kubaska Family,
I was so very sorry to read about Dr. Kubaska's passing yesterday. He was a good man and a nice neighbor to the Murphy family for many years. I was planning to join you this evening at the calling hours, but I am not feeling well and am going home to rest. I am a teacher here in Woodstock and have 3 children, my sister Mary is a televison producer in NYC, Martha works in Providence at Al Forno and Patrick is an ad exec in NYC. Our parents are both well and still living in RI. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in this difficult time.
Peace
God Bless

To the family of Dr. John Kubaska,
We just read about Dr. Kubaska and offer you our deepest sympathies. He was our family dentist and was a wonderful doctor. We moved to Tucson just about a year after he retired. He always talked about his family so lovingly.
