Oh Mr Lascola, I used to work for you over 10 years ago and I've always wondered how you were doing. You definitely were a light being that brought joy and happiness to those who you met or were around you and I'm sure you will continue to shine in all of the hearts of those who love you most. I send my condolences to everyone. Thank you for being such a great human

Steve and I were classmates for 8 years at St. Justin Martyr. I was among the "short girls" and Steve was one of the "short boys". Needless to day, we had fun standing in line with our classmates. I am very proud to call him a friend of mine. Our 1963 graduating class consisted of the same classmates that started first grade with us. What good times we had. Steve will always be remembered by his classmates for being one of the "good guys." May he rest in peace.

Steve came into Church a few weeks ago by wheelchair and his wife. Looking at him during Mass and saw how his face lit up just by being in Church. He so loved our God and I am sure he is looking down at his family who he also loved so much. God bless his family!

Dear Barbara,
Just so sorry to hear of your husband's passing to the other side of life. Our son Matt has been going to your son for therapy and he told me.
I am a friend from Father Rookey's and I admire you so much. I thank your husband for his devout service to so many Catholic things and especially to carry our Blessed Mother statue around. You two are surely His apostles.
Most sincerely and love in Jesus,
JoAnn Cutrara from Father Rookey's
