Dear Vince & Family:



Sorry to hear about the loss of your father.



Vince, I've known you for about 30 years from the ballparks, and while you have always dealt with day to day adversity with great strength, even greater strength will be needed now for you and your family to move forward.



Having lost my father many years ago, I can only offer this advice, "Remember & celebrate the great memories you have"



Not only will you find this to be a source of comfort, but you will insure that future generations of your family will know about your dad as well.



Best Wishes, Mark Reiner

Loretta & Pesha family, I am so sorry for the loss of (Uncle) Tony. I never got to meet him and was hoping our son (Larry III) would be able to this coming month when he goes to the Chicago area. I and our boys have heard a lot about 'Tony & Lawrence escapades' growing up. By the way,,,I'm Larry Jr.'s wife. Hopefully one day we will be able to meet. Kay Kusic

Dear Vince and family,

Please accept my and my families condolences on the loss of your Dad. Having lost my Dad, I know how deep the sorrow is for you to bear, and though the loss can never be diminished, eventually the happy memories of his life with you will outweigh this immense sadness.

Though I never knew him, I know his son, so I'm sure he was a man of strength and honor like you've become.

Yours truly,

Lloyd Rutzky and family
