Dear Diane and family, you have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband, dad and grandfather. You and Steve did so much for our church, no one realizes just how much. My family and we care very much and know he is resting in Heaven. I don’t know Tony’s address or Therese or Mary’s but let them know they are in my prayers and my heart. I just feel so bad, he led the stations and was always so kind and friendly and was a taxi for so many people. He will be greatly missed by many. The sympathy goes for you too Paul. You will always remember how kind you were and always available to help him and your mom when they needed it. God Bless your family Diane. My kids sure loved your kids.
