Dear family of Anthony "Skip" Parrilli, My deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. I am a customer at the parking lot he attended and I was always glad to see him and talk with him as he reminded me a bit of my own father that I lost 4 years ago. It is funny how we take for granted the daily encounters we have with people. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Skippy was a great guy who was surely in pain. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to the family of Skippy for their loss. I knew Skippy since 1978 when I was a waitress at Bertucci's Corner. You are all in my prayers for God to give you strength.

Skippy was a jokester and a nice guy. He will be truly missed.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there is a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
