    I’m very sad to hear of his passing. My memory of him is that he loved his family and was a dedicated and hard worker; a good role model. In some ways, I emulated him with my strong work ethic. He loved his games of golf and would even play with a snow cover on the ground using his orange golf balls. He always treated me fair and was there to assist if I needed it. Both he and Harie made visits to Karen and I while I was serving in the armed forces; Williams AFB, AZ and Torrejon AB, Spain. It was really nice to have them visit and we looked forward to it. A good man who was purpose driven…very sad to hear that he succumbed to such a ruthless and nondiscriminatory disease. He will surely be missed and thought of often.

    Sincerely,
    Joe Cerrito
