You both came to our wedding…You certainly had the Best parents…Your father was so proud of you. I looked forward to the Christmas Picture I have all of them………….What a beautiful family. Bob is now with his Beloved Doris…..I will miss him. My condolences……..Louise
Dear Rob and Leslie, Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved father. We met your parents shortly after we moved to Meriden in 1974 when we joined the Merry Makers group at the 1st Congregational Church and immediately became close friends. We have many wonderful memories of time spent at lovely dinners and parties at their home. Please know that they led very productive lives which influenced many people positively. Your Dad is now happily with your mother. This is a rite of passage, but not a fun one. Love and Fondness, Bob and Carol Kohankie
