Dear Pat and Family,I just wanted to say how sorry I am with the passing of "Tony." I have to admit that whenever you came in with your dad, my day was made. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him on the phone and in person. He reminded me so much of my dad - that dry sense of humor was a killer for me. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. He was truly a wonderful person. And I, too, will miss seeing him. Memories are wonderful -- especially: Okydoky -- his favorite word. Barb
