Del Prete Family,

Just found out about the passing of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your father was an awesome friend, neighbor and stand in grandpa for Michael. We will never forget his kindness of getting Michael into Cardinal Gibbons, the time we spent together and all that wonderful food he would share. I always knew when I left my condo to travel on business that your father was watching out for us.

He will be missed but we know God's got him to work already. Makes me smile knowing he's watching over all of us!

The Wessel Family!!!

Fran,

You know how often I thought of you and Bobby and was always so happy when I spoke to the both of you. I have so many great memories of him from so many years ago. He is someone I'll never never forget and I love the both of you.

My prayers today (the 7th of June) in church were for my mother, who would have been 101 today and for Bobby. They are together in peace and happiness now and forever.

Love, Matt
