To the Pritchard family.

We grew up two doors away from the family on Beach Street. We remember the rumpus room and times playing in the schoolyard. We send our thoughts and prayers. Chuck, we send you our deepest sympathy.
Sincerely, Babs, Jeri and Ed Tarantino

Robert Pritchard, or "Buzz" as we have always known him, was a gentle and kind man and while we mourn the death of a loved one his wife and family should rejoice that he is free from suffering and is now at peace with God in Heaven. Buzz loved his wife and family dearly and he spoke with great pride of their successful accomplishments. We shall always remember Buzz and his wonderful sense of humor with great affection. Fondly, Barbara and John Nevin.
