Tributes
"So so very sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for all of you. I have some good memories of him. But most of all I remember whenever he was around, his smile.. it was so contagious and that whenever he would look at Rita, the kids, or grandkids, there was always a light in his eyes. You could see his happiness and the pride he felt for his family. I'll be keeping all of you in my prayers. Lots of love to all of you."
"I truly enjoyed helping Bruce and Rite when I worked at the pharmacy. Beautiful people! Love to the family!"
