To the Lamusta family,
Our deepest sympathy from my mother and I for your loss of a wonderful man. We played bingo with him for years down at 7 hills on Hope ave where he would always yell out his favorite number I-30 after it was called. He will be dearly missed. Though words seem so small, remember this: If you open your hearts and minds, he will forever be with you. Rest in peace my good friend!
