    Dennis- I read of the passing of your father and wanted to pay my respects to you and your family members. I read the Herald Star on-line and saw his name. My father passed in 1979. I hope that you are doing well and my best wishes to you. Roger

    Dear Wanda and Family, I was so sorry to hear the news. I have very fond memories of you and Danny, especially while I was growing up. I used to love to come to your house. Danny used to come visit my Father, Sammy DiFabbio, at Trinity and we would have some laughs about the good old days. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Kind regards, Rebecca

    Nancy and Dennis: It is always a shock to people you know and not sure you know; however, the sudden loss of your father and the grandfather of your children will never be forgotten or the wonderful memories he left behind for all of you to look back and reflect on for many years to come. From all I know of reading about your Father's accomplishments is a total inspiration to his family, friends, and even strangers to admire! May the Lord send his best angels to escort your father home! God speed to all of Daniel's family.
