To the Murges family,
Your father George and our father Tom Kesaris were friends since their youth. Our father had the opportunity to reunite with George when our parents visited us in Sarasota in 2005. Our father passed away four months latter. We later discovered a photo of the two of them in what appear to be their high school letterman sweaters. We brought a copy of the photo to George when we told him of the loss our father, his life long friend. We decided to share this photo with everyone at this time.
Our heart filled sympathy goes out to everyone.
Sincerely,
Becky Poziwilko (Kesaris)
