Kimberly & Melissa,

Sorry to hear about your father. Your mother & father were our neighbors when they lived on Johnson Road (Barbara Drive), Norwalk, CT. When my twins were little they would ask him to come out & play. We always enjoyed talking with them.

Dear Missy, Kim and family
On behalf of the Atria familyThank you for the honor of partnering with you during these past months. I will smile the biggest smile every time I have a honey bun. Your dad would find his way to my office daily to chat or offer to help. He has a corner of my heart. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Kim and Missy, your dad was one of the true gentleman in this world. He had a kind and gentle soul and he always made you feel welcome. He loved your mom and adored all of his children and grand children. I know you may not feel this way now, but you were very lucky to have such an extraordinary father in your life. Hold those memories close as you grieve. I will never forget the kindness your father showed me throughout the years and I will never forget his kind smile and his twinkling eyes. Hugs to you both. Judy
