Loretta, Marty & Kids,
We were so sorry to hear of Grandpa's death. It was such a pleasure to have known him. We have wonderful memories and we are sure that you do as well. We will keep all of you in our prayers.

My Uncle Phil:
My dad's big brother and a second father to me. A great man who provided encouragement and taught me many things about life. I will miss you greatly, and try to live as you did. My deepest sympathies to those who were closer to him, whose loss is greater than mine.
