Just recently found out about Carmen's passing. My deepest sympathy to his wife children and extended family. Carmen was a great guy and I know he'll be missed by many. He will remain in my prayers.

I found out yesterday about Butch's passing and wanted to send my condolences to his family. We haven't seen each other for decades, but grew up together and went to St. Mary Incoronata in the same class. His uncle Jackie Markase was the best man at my Mom and Dad's wedding and Jackie and Rose lived across the street from my grandfather. They were close family friends. So very long ago but the memory still fresh in my mind. I'll have to search through some of my old photos and see whether I still have the ones from our 8th grade picnic. Only recently learned that he also went to high school with my husband. Please accept my sincere sympathies on your loss. I always remember Carmen (Butch to us back then) as one of the "good guys."
