My deepest sympathy and love to all the Bakovich Family. You may not know me, but your Dad and my brothers were great old friends. I dearly remember him from our
restaurant, Papa John;s on 31st St. Your dad and uncle John were a part of our family. Pat Musolino Arizzi

Dear Lynn & Jim:
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad.
He was a terrific person. I remember him
when we use to go to the restaurant at lunch time when we worked together. It is really hard for me to attend wakes and funeral masses since I loss my husband Vince. May God Bless you and your family.

Love always,
Carol Fratto (Cox)

Cindy, John, Danny & the entire Bakovich Family,
I wanted to express my sincere condolences on the passing of your Dad. He was a great guy, certainly larger than life! He was always so kind and funny when we talked and it was apparent how very proud he was of his family. What an impressive legacy he leaves in his children and grandchildren.....you are now the next generation and I know you will make him proud!

My apologies for not expressing my condolences in person, I have been working in MN all week.
