My Mother Margeret DePinto sent me the notice about Phil and told me the stories of 22nd street and how she remembered your Mom and doing her hair and how difficult it was to try and do her hair when she died when Gary was born. She recalls the time Phil came to our house in LaGrange and then never saw him again. I do remember playing with Larry and believe I have some footage on a video transferred from an old 16mm film my Dad made with kids running around including Larry, Sandy Lou Herdena and myself. Marge(84) is living in Galena, Illinois and is doing O.K. She does wish everyone in your family well as I do and send our wishes for everyone in Phil's life to cherish the memories he created and inspired.

Sincerely,

Bob DePinto

To Our Dear Freinds, Larry, Patti Chrissy, Brian and Mary.



Please accept our deepsest sympathy over your great loss. Mary and I didn't actually get to know Felix as many have. I know that he is responsible for raising a great son and true freind in Larry, I see the reflection of Felix in Larry every day so, we feel as if we do know him personally and are certain that he will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Felix, you and your entire family.



God Bless,



Tom and Mary Gibbons

Grandpa meant the world to me. If I wrote how much he touched my heart you would be reading a novel for days. Grandpa taught me how to love, work hard, and stressed the importance of success to me. He is the single most giving person that I know. I turned to him for everything. Grandpa was in a way like my best friend...we shared both laughs and tears. Although Grandpa has left us I know he will be with me wherever I go. Now that he is in heaven I know he is my guardian angel for the rest of my life. I LOVE YOU GRANDPA...XOXO
