My deepest condolences to the Juliani family from the entire Heinzen Family. We all have fond memories of the many family interactions at St James School/Church and the neighborhood we grew up in. I still have the 8mm films that my Dad captured of the neighborhood kids growing up together on 5th Ave. Fortunately you have 95 years of your Dad's life to remember and celebrate which is obviously a major accomplishment. God Bless you all.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Louis and Margaret once last year during the holiday season when I was delivering a box of candy from Loretta Cayo. I thought that I would simply drop off the package and continue on my way. Well... what I thought would have been a couple of minutes lasted for a couple of hours. These couple of hours were filled with the best conversation that I'd had in such a long time and the best Christmas present of the year! I can tell that Louis was a special man. I will miss reading his emails that he would send to Barb. God bless to the entire family.
