    I shall miss you, brother. We had many good times together when we were younger. May you find peace in Heaven. Your brother, Ed.

  2. 0ur sympathy to you, JoAnne and your family. Lou just read Al’s name in the IUPs paper so we googled his name to see if it was the Al we knew.

    Your names have come up over the years wondering about your whereabouts. Too bad we didn’t stay in touch.

    Our love and prayers are with you and your family.

    Lillian and Louis Bartosiewicz
