Dear Pat, Charlie, Barry and Patty.......

On behalf of our entire family, we humbly offer our most heartfelt and sincere condolences on the loss of your son, and my friend. Thank you Pat for your support 16 years ago as we shared about common ground, as you and my mother both were understanding and helpful. Charlie was my friend since we were kids as is Barry, and I value those friendships more than anything. Although life has taken us different directioins, those friendships never waivered, and for now anyway, Ill miss him greatly until the next divine adventure toward eternity put us together again......
