Dear Ostrof family,
Charlene and I wish to express our deep condolences on the loss of your beloved dad. Regretfully, unalterable circumstances did not allow us to pay our respect by attending the funeral services. However, I take some comfort in reminiscing the fun times with Dan over the past thirty some years, particularly my occasional visits at his home, listening to him recalling stories of his rich life whether related to the Second Word War, family, business, or gambling ventures- at times - flavored with personal advice. I hope you find some solace in knowing that , as his loved ones, you , in turn , returned that love by doing all possible to make his final years comfortable.
May his memory be a blessing for all who loved him.
