I wanted to pass along my deepest sympathy to the Limperis Family. I don't know if the boys (John, Bill and Bones) remember me from Bel-Air and from Cardinal Gibbons, but your mom meant the WORLD to me. I remember when I first met Fran, She would come to buy the Nipon Dresses with the other ladies in Sea Ranch at my house. One night sitting around having coffee Fran brought over these little crispy cookies..they looked like lace. Those were her favorites.I bonded with her eventhough she was much older than I was but I felt like she was a true friend to me. She always welcomed me into her home in Sea Ranch and was so nice to me ALWAYS! My dad Ralph Michaels( The Punchinellos) said he saw Fran at the Flannigan Funeral and the FIRST thing Fran did was ask how I was. I loved her and I am so sorry to hear she has left us. I am sorry. She was such a beautiful person. I will never forget her!

Sincerely,

Nancy Marzulli

The Limperis home was the place to be during spring break in the '80's - a home full of fun, food, love and laughter. God Bless this beautiful family!

Dr. Limperis, I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Having lost my own husband 10 years ago I know there is no right thing to say. Although it never really gets better, it seems to get a little more bearable. My thoughts are with you and your family. Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Limperis:



Marion and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Paul Lawler, Sr. and Paul Lawler, Jr. assisted in bringing our four sons into the world. Then, you and Dr. Driscoll took over, caring for them from 1959 to 1970 when we left the Chicago area. Marion and I talk about you and Dr. Driscoll often. The loving care provided by the two of you is without equal and include one after-hours visit to your office when we were very frightened and drove in from Park Forest with our twin sons. You and your family are in our prayers.



Warmest regards,

Marion & Art Riley

Dr.Limperis,

My family and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. You were my children's doctor and my spirits were always lifted when you shared stories of your family. I knew if you and your wife could do it with all the children, I could make it with two.

She had to be a special lady and you were our very special doctor. God Bless.

Our deepest sympathy to the Limperis and Kenny families. We have so many happy memories of Fran sitting in her yard tanning and at our home with all of Bucko's friends. Sounds like she continued to be "a people person" and wonderful Catholic. Our love thoughts and prayers to all, especially her wonderful sisters.

Love, Tom and Kay Mulligan Huguelet

Dr Limperis,

I never met your wife, but you were my children's Dr going back to the early 70's. She had to be a wonderful person with a great sense of humor as you always were.

I have thought of you often and my children and I still quote some of your remedies..my prayers are with you during this painful time, but the memories will keep you strong.

Take care..
