GOD BLESS GRUMPY GRANDPA!!!!

Dear Fran, Dave, Kathy, Terry, Mike and the entire Cronin/Artigiani Family:



Mr. Cronin was a big part of my younger years and continued to be a good friend into my adult years. He was a big supporter of the Dave, Mark, Brian and Eric team and very tolerant of our escapades! It was tremendous fun to watch 49er games with him and spend time with him (and you all) during my numerous visit to your home. As I got older, he was very kind to Mary and gave her advice "to watch out for me!" His kindness and generosity continued as we were the beneficiary of his and Dave's many fishing trips. We'll miss him greatly, but appreciate the time we had with him while looking forward to more happy times with your extended family.



With heartfelt love,

Mark and Mary Chapman

Dear Auntie Fran, Michael, David, Terry and Kathy: We all loved Uncle Michael very much and will miss him terribly. He was very special to me and I have many years of fond memories, especially our family New Year's celebrations. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers while you recover from your loss. I'm sure he's in Heaven right now and he and Auntie Julie are planning a boating trip somewhere.

Love to all,

Julie Ann, Breana and Cheryl
