Dear Berilla Family, You have the sincere sympathy of the entire Bobuk Family. I have so many fond memories of your Dad, from taking in Orioles games, to visiting Our Nation's Capital. From rides in the orange and white VW van to visits to Adelphi and College Park. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May he rest in eternal peace with Aunt Marcy. Love, Eddie

The Berilla Family: You have our deepest sympathies. Your Dad is in a better place now, looking down smiling on all of us. Your Dad always had a unique way of getting his point across, mostly with a good story behind it. You learned something from it. He would have been a great teacher. Being re-united with your Mom, Rege and Helen, and Stella and Henry. I bet there are some good card games going on up there. St. Pete is probaly scratching his head saying " I think we have a few card sharks here." We will miss him. We will keep your Dad and all of the family in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.
