It was with great sadness, that we learned of Vetos death. Although we haven't seen you in many years, we have often thought with Great Love and Affection of those WONDERFUL DAYS, we all spent together on Carpenter Street. Veto, will always remain alive in the memories of those who loved, respected and treasured him.
