I cannot believe I am just hearing about this now, our entire family would have been there for all of you (as we were for your Mom's wake) He was one of my Dad's closest childhood friends. We would LOVE how he would stop by the house when he was on duty (and park the squad car in the alley so neighbors wouldn't think any of us were in trouble haha) when he saw my parents and a punch of us on the front porch and he would tell us stories and we would be in stitches (especially my brother Jimmy!! No one made him laugh like your Dad!!)
Just happy to know he is with your Mom now. Thinking of all of you on the anniversary.

Deepest sympathy,

Colleen Kenney Merletti

Mike .........

My brother Jim & Suzanne along with my sisters Peggy and Colleen were talking about your Dad yesterday. It looks like he had a long life and hope he was healthy for most of it.

Your parents were good friends of our parents and we always knew when "Big Paul" was on the phone. We hope all of you are well.
