We were shocked to learn of his passing and wish we had known him better in the time he lived next door. Please accept our deepest sympathy for you loss.
Our heart-felt sympathy to your family. Fond memories of our Church Road friendship.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Tacie. May memories sustain you at this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. He was the best uncle a girl to have. We lost a great man but heaven gained an angel. He will be greatly missed.
Sad to learn of his passing. He was a good class-mate at AGHS in the Class of 1971. He treated others as he wanted to be treated. I respected him very much. He will be missed. R.I.P.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I enjoyed our talks when he was at Madonna when I took mom outside. He is a good man and I’m sure he will be missed by many. GOD bless!
