Rich, Terri and family, our deepest sympathy on your loss of your father. It’s been a long time since the Osco days but some of those days were the best. Your dad was always so kind. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Elie was my neighbor for almost 20 years. He was the best neighbor anyone could ever have. As well he was such a great friend. He would do anything for you and always would offer something cool to drink whenever I was out working in the yard. He would even give the garbage guy a soft drink every week and then after the garbage man went thru, I would always have my can out of the street and up by my garage door when I got home from work that Elie brought up. I can't say enough about this sweet man, his great sense of humor and generosity and he was truly loved by all that knew him.
