Dear Joe and Pete,
This holiday passing of your father should not be met with sorrow. Rather, it is symbolic for a man who cherished for his sons and family all that make great men. He has left you with a legacy of love for God, the country he served, the people he cherished, and the attributes that define his sons as loving, generous men. Stand proud, love much, give generously to those less fortunate, embrace loyalty, forgive easily, remain humble.
Know that the fireworks that came from the heavens this weekend announced something glorious that the man you called dad and I called brother was called home by God. He is always with you. Simply look up, pick a star, and quietly speak. He has gifted you with all the resources to find your answers. All those we lost remain alive when kept in our hearts.
I keep you in my prayers. Please contact me as to where he is buried.
Love,
Aunt Donna Grovola Sirkin

We are so sorry for your loss and will keep you in our prayers. Your father was more than a neighbor, he was a great friend. He was our "Mr. Wilson" always offering advice and help. He will be missed and thought of frequently.

Dear Pete & Joe,

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I will always remember coming over your house on the weekends and having your dads famous bacon and eggs for breakfast. He was an exceptional man and a great father!

I will miss Joe so very much. He was such a great friend. I will always remember polish kielbasa and sauerkraut at picnics and family get togethers. He was so generous to me and my family.
