April, I loved reading about your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as I know your Dad is being taken care of wherever he is now. You look just like him!!!! He was a lucky man to have you as his daughter! I wish I knew the right things to say to make it all right. Take care and know that others are thinking of you and your family now. -Nance
April, Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father. I can remember visiting him with you at his shop in Waterbury long ago…we were in nursing school and you needed money for something (the reason escapes me but his response has not)..he gave without pause..a quiet example of a father’s love for his daughter 🙂 My mother sends her sympathy and warmest regards as well.
To Mr. Leonard Slimskey, Our sincere condolences on the death of your brother. While I, Bruce, never remember meeting him, he was my uncle, and the loss of any family is heartfelt. From the obituary, he sounds like he was a wonderful man.I share his passions for fishing and hunting.My wife and I also offer our condolences to the rest of the family members. Sincerely, Bruce C. and Martha Slimskey
