To the Karoubas Family:
My most sincere and heartfelt sympathy on the sudden passing of your husband and father, Paul. As a neighbor of this most quiet and gentle man, it has been an honor knowing him these past 32 years. Over the years I have admired the relationship that exists between Kathy and Paul - and the strong family values they have imparted to you, their children. In the most recent years, one of my most fondest memories is of Paul walking through our neighborhood with his "walking cane" - and always with a smile and gracious acknowledgement to all he encountered along his path. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
