Dear Thome and Joe & Debbie;

My sympathies for your loss.

I met you many years ago thru my boyfriend Dan Di Foggio and I found out at later that my Dad was great friends with your Dad during their racing days at Soldier Field! A small world after all. I was very young at that time, but remember some of the times and the stories and love to look at my Dad's old clippings and photo's.

I'm very sorry about your loss. May the happy memories I know you all must have, live in your hearts forever.

No bond is greater than that of child and parent. My heartful prayers and thoughts are with you, the family in your time of grief.

I will fondly remember the good times with my uncle. I still can remember him playing the accordian, and of course, him riding his horse down the street.

Please except my sincere sympathy in your time of sorrow.
