Dear Heather and Dale,
I am so sorry to read about your Dad's passing. A ton of memories playing in the Mystic Little League. He was a dedicated father and a good guy. I got to see him quite a bit when he worked down at the dock on the river in Mystic after they first put the dock in. And he must have been so proud of both of you becoming doctors.

So sorry to learn of Gordon's passing. He was my father's first cousin. My parents, Sam and Eileen Fiore, always enjoyed their occasional dinner dates with Gordon and Sandra. I feel grateful that Gordon had an interest in genealogy and shared what he learned about our family's heritage with my Dad, who then shared it with me. Please accept my condolences and those of my brothers Don and Tom.
