DEAR TSOFLIAS FAMILY,

I WAS VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MY FRIEND JOHN. HE LOOKED GOOD AND HAD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE WHEN I SAW HIM TWO OR THREE WEEKS AGO.

GOD BLESS

Dear Family,   I send you my deepest sympathy.  I have known John for 13 years, working with him on many projects.  Last thurs. he called me regarding my visit to the Starting Gate, I know now I was supposed to pick up that call, we chatted for a while and I told him not to worry about things, we would deal with things later, and to just take care of himself.  You can imagine my shock when I picked up the paper on Fri.  I will miss working with him, as hard as I tried, I could never get mad at him.   Please give Peter my sympathy as well.   Eileen Bauer, Lanc. City Health Officer

Pete,

I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your father. While I never had the opportunity to meet him, I know you well, and I am sure he was a great man. He must have been very proud to raise such a hardworking, honest, and remarkable son.
