Roberta,
So sorry to hear about your Dad. I’m the grandfather I am today because of him and your Mom. Seeing them come to all of Tony’s sporting events convinced me years ago that that’s the type of grandfather I want to be. It’s something I’ll never forget and think about often.

May he Rest in Peace.

All my Love,
Tony Coca
