Dad, we will miss you. You have been a kind and loving father always. We have so many wonderful memories which will keep you in our hearts forever. So glad we had all those years living next door to you, it was a great experience for our family. It is what our children talk about all the time.

Bob, my deepest condolences to you and your brother George. I always wanted to stop and thank your dad for all the rides he gave me to the Boys Club, but as "way leads to way" it never happened. I hope all is well with your family and George's family. Sincerely, your good friend always, Dan Ricci and his wife Joan

Say hi to my mom and dad, Anna and Michael De Luca. I guess it is time for you to meet again. We were neighbors in Marieville many years ago. Even though I was very young, I remember sitting around the fire in the back yard of Charles Street. May you rest in peace. Carol DeLuca V..
