Dear Kathy
I don't know how I came across the notice of your husband's passing. This is Joanne (Ulatowski) Magagnoli. I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. It's been a long time since our vacation in Puerto Rico but I've thought about you from time to time over the years.
We live in central Florida now for about 27 years. My husband has been ill for years because of agent orange. I hope you and your family are well. Steve remembers you very well from school. Take care. Be well.

To the entire Ezyk family,
I knew Dale for several years. We have played golf in Ri, Connecticut and Florida and I will miss him. His dry sense of humor and sarcastic way will be also missed. I will also miss the way he could draw a golf ball and put it close to the pin, amazing. Sorry to all and may he rest in peace and make a few hole in one's in heaven.
