Dear Clare

I am so sorry to hear about Joe its been so many years since I left Profile but it only seems like yesterday.If it was not for Joe always giving me a pep talk about just hang in there 1 more week,I don't know what I would have done. He always said my luck would change. It did while still hanging in there I met my future wife there. Clare I can truthfully say that I owe everything I have today to the kinds words from your husband. He changed my life for me and for that he will always be in a special place in my heart. He will be missed and I am so honored to have worked for him and you for those few years. May god rest his soul and keep you in his heart.

Nick, Mary and all the Lagattuta Family;

We are all sorry to hear of your loss. I never met your father but I knew him though you. He was strong, not tough. He said what had to be said but was kind. He was a straight shooter and did not spend a lot of time getting to the point. And he loved Italian cookies. We have been friends for a number of years now, oh where does the time go? We share your sorrow so if you need us for anything please let us know.

Sincerly The Masello Family
