Dear Rose and Naputano Family,

I'm sorry about the passing of your father.There aren't enough words to discribe him as you know.He was the nicest,most easy going man I have ever met.He was so kind that every week he would offer me water,use the bathroom and sit in the air conditioning if it was too hot.Most people don't even look out and notice me.There aren't too many of him left.I always thought he was the coolest senior I have ever met.Even at his age,I would never take him on.I will miss him and never forget him.
