Guestbook

  1. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mr. Parente many years ago at the Abbate Insurance Agency. He always had a smile and kind word for us when he came in to work. He was a lovely man. You are in my thoughts and my prayers during this very difficult time.

  2. We first met Bob in 1972 when he showed us through .Mr. Lenihan’s house,. the house that would become our first house–a very happy place–right next door to him on Delsole Road. As the youngest people on the street, he welcomed us, shared wise counsel and became a wonderful friend. He had a soft spot in his heart for little girls and, when our Kerry Ann was born, it brought back memories of Jean and Roberta when they were little. And even after we moved to DE in 1985, we were always welcomed when we knocked on the door to say .hello. as we were passing through the area. He was always interested in what we were doing and how Kerry Ann was doing in school and later how her singing career was progressing and sharing news about HIS girls. And, as Kerry Ann said .He was a good man!. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Olga, Jean, Roberta and your families. We know you are experiencing a great loss. Our sincerest sympathy, Craig, Ann Marie and Kerry Ann
