  9. We are so very sorry to learn of Larry’s passing. You were both so kind to my mother when she lived beside you on College Avenue. She often spoke of your family’s loving friendship. We will miss seeing him at Mass! He has gone home before us to prepare a welcoming place in Heaven. May his soul rest in peace. Pat and Mike DiGiacomo
