Each loss is a very personal loss, so we can't begin to know your feelings at this time. Please know that Chris, Joann, Karen, Mike, and your families are in our hearts and thoughts. As a child I remember so looking forward to visiting Uncle Frank and Aunt Kay's house because there was so much fun and things to do. Both of your parents always welcomed us in your home, and I remember your Dad's smile when there was a good joke to be told. Even though he kept the house a little cool, your dad had a warm heart for his family. We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone. Carol and Paul Chervinko

I remember all the fun times we had on vacations with Mom and Dad. Specifically when they both came with us when Kyle came home from Iraq. We waited all night for the buses to bring our young Marines home. It was truly an experience I all never forget shared with my Mom and Dad.
I miss you Dad. Love you forever
