We are very sorry for your loss. We will miss the best neighbor and friend that we've known over the last 11 years. He was a wonderful person and a good friend. God bless your family and may he have the peace he deserves.

Sorry for the lost of your Dad. We always stayed in touch with one another. I always enjoyed talking to him & I miss talking to him. Your Dad was a great person.

Richard and Phil,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. He and your mom were neighbors of my family when we lived off of High Road. Both of them were the sweetest people (and your grandmother and Aunt Emma, too!) and we loved being with them whenever we could. Please know all of you are in my prayers.
Much love,
