Dear Alice and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  While we were growing up, I felt we were all such great friends.  I’m sorry that time and distance has not afforded us the opportunity to stay close.  My thoughts are with you all.

Sincerely,
Anthony "Tony" Freiler

Dear Alice and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your lose. My memories of Chick take me back to Grade school at Sacred Heart. He and I were great friends back then, running and playing in our concrete play ground. As a matter of fact Chick was probabl2y my best friend back then. Unfortunately we lost touch when I left Sacred Heart in the middle of 8th grade. I remember you and him walking back and forth to school with your grandmother. Please pass along my condolences to the rest of your family.

Sincerly
Christopher Long

Dear Alice And Aunt Fran,

    I am glad I got to see you both tonight . I thought Chick was as handsome as ever. I was always proud of having Alice and Chick as my cousins. I thought Chicks son was a very brave and handsome man. Chick must have been so proud to have a son as he. My little cousin Chick may be away now but He will live forever in my Heart as You also will too !

Love You All,
Always & Forever,
Tony(cousin & nephew)

Alice & Gerry,
I grew up around the corner on First St. from Chick and hung out with Rusty Fawber and the Courtneys. I always remember Chick and his Yamaha and his cool personality. I am disappointed that I never ran into him after high school because we both shared a love of motorcycles and could have gone riding together. I am very sorry for your loss.
Regards
Tim Harper
