Frank, then you for the kind words, what a gentleman you are.
Maryella, thank you for the card and kind words.
Gaytha, when I read your words, it really caused me to think. My family knows me, but I am so heartened by how you connected my Dad's life to how I carry myself.
Sulmasy Family, Thank you Glenn and the family for your kind words.

Dad, you are in a better place. With his father who he has not seen since a teenager. His Mom and sibblings. My mother and Karen. And I know in my heart of hearts, playing poker with his brother-in-law Matt and eating chourico and peppers cooked by my mom. Rest well Dad!

Dear Ken,

Deepest condolences to you upon the passing of your Dad, and my Uncle Gunga. I fondly remember the many great times spent at your house, especially 4th of July cookouts; playing bocce and wiffle ball, and the aroma of a clam boil simmering in a gigantic pot on the barbecue. We never went to see the parade: the featured showcase of that day in Bristol was the crazy antics of Uncle Gunga, who never failed to amuse and entertain us all. I can picture all of our aunts and uncles wiping away tears of laughter, and your Mom biting her knuckle during Uncle Gunga's comedic 'performances'. And to my knowledge, he never got one red cent out of any of us kids, though he teasingly asked for money from us whenever we were within earshot.

I hope your memories of your Dad lighten your heart in the days to come; he certainly would want them to.

Love and Hugs,
Jan

Ken,
So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. It's not easy to lose a parent, but I'm also sure there are great memories to hang on to. Based on his obituary, seems like he lived a productive life, especially with the man of character that he has as a son. Best to you and your family...Maryella
