  4. Dear Helen, Mike, Debbie,

    I am so sorry to read of your husband, your Dad’s, passing. As soon as I saw his photo, I could remember him from the times that me and my family lived next door to you on Route 3, in the late 60s. May all your memories of your shared lifetime experiences with him give you comfort. My sincere condolences to you all.
