Dear Diane and family, We are so very sadden to learn that your dad has passed away. I am sorry I could not be there in person to pay respect to your dayd and your family as you did for my dad who left us in March. I was away on a business trip and just returned on to read the paper and learn that your dad passed on. Your dad as I remember was quite the competitor when it came to duckpin bowling for the Catholic War Vet's every Monday night at the T=Bowl. When he missed a spare or strike, he would raise his hand in disbelief, kick his foot as if he was going to wipe out the ball return and go back to his seat shaking his head. Yes, those were the days. We also had something in common, we both worked for banks; your dad at New Britain National, my Uncle Chet at Hartford National and myself at Conn Bank & Trust Company. I can say this, your dad was great at keeping score. He use to pick up any mistakes that was made by the other team. He was Joey on the spot! He was a very considerate caring person, he had a good sense of humor and was a jovial person. I can appreciate very much what your family is going through at this time when sorrow and saddness is very much overpowering. Here is something I would like to pass on to you as someone passed this on to me. It goes like something like this: And if I go while you are still here, know that I still live on, I have only slipped away into the next room vibrating to a different measure, behind a very thin veil you cannot see through. Call me by my name; dad, grandpa or Joe. Speak my name as you use to very easily. Laugh, play and smile as we always did. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Speak it without effort. Even though you can not see me, so you must have strong faith. I wait the time when we can soar together again, all of us, both aware of each other. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of sight. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it was. All is well were I am. Until them my family, live your lives to the fullest. But when you should ever need me, just whisper my name in your heart and I will be there for you, always. One day, we will all be together again only better, infinitely happier and forever, we will be one together again with Christ our Lord, amen. My family wishes to extend to all of your family our sympathy during this sad time and may your faith guide you thru the healing process.
