So sorry to hear of the passing of such a legend in Leominster. He was certainly a class act. We only saw him once in a while after moving to the Cape, But he was always interested in how my husband Fred and I were doing. We would share stories of the past and present. He was a great coach and a great roll model for us kids growing up. It was a pleasure to know you. RIP my good friend.

We were very sorry to hear about Sike's passing. I fondly
remember our Sunday golf matches. Whenever I listen to an "oldies" radio station and I hear, Up a Lazy River,I smile and in my mind's eye I can see Sike singing on a stage at someones wedding. He will be missed by many. You are in our prayers.

Dear Dawn and Shelley,
I was very sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. I was very glad to speak with him at length last month and we had a great conversation. I am sending you both my condolences. Your wonderful Dad is in my prayers. Love, Karen

Dear Sike,
I just returned from your wake and as you must know, half the town turned out for you. You touched so many people and were loved by all. Your daughters did you proud and no doubt, they were very proud of you. Quite a legacy you left behind! I deeply regret not seeing you in your last days. There are so many memories I would like to have reminisced with you. Know that you have a special place in my heart. RIP dear friend.

Shelley, Dawn, Carolyn, Dan, Larry, and family,
My condolences, and sadness that Sike had such a tough battle. 'Cyclone,' as I called him, was one of the most magnetic and personable people I ever knew, and I was always proud to say he was my cugino - especially when people mistook us for each other (smile).
