Dear Virginai and Family:

I worked at IIT for 21 years and knew Platon all that time. He was always jovial with me and had good insights and advice about all things in life. I will miss him. Our family's deepest condolences to you and yours.

Dear Virgina and Family,

Frank and I were shocked. We were in church Sunday. I had my sister's one year memorial. I happened to look behind me and saw Platon. He gave me a nice smile. I shall remember that smile. Now I feel it was like a goodbye smile.

Frank remembers that we sat at the same table and worked together making the palm crosses.

My father died suddenly in 1957 at 63 years of age. He became ill one night and was dead the following night. The sudden departure is tough.

Platon was a very good and intelligent man. I enjoyed conversations with him. Learned from him.

May you have memories to help you and the family heal. God rest his soul.

Fondly,
Helen and Frank LoBosco
