To the Osstifin Family,
I am signing this book for all of The Koles Family. We were neighbors and Paul and my Uncle, Bob(butch) were very good friends. He passed away in Oct so even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, I'm sure they have met up and are having a good time again. Please accept our sympathy. Our neighborhood was very close at one time and even though everyone went their own ways after growing up, we were still friends.
