Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hello group: I was in my email getting a phone number and thought I would sit and take a couple of minutes to write. Thank you to and for the baskets at the funeral home. It was very thoughtful and a nice surprise! The service was beautiful and many of his co-workers drove many miles to come. drove 45 minutes one way to work everyday and many of his co-workers lived closer to work. His friend/boss said some wonderful things about him! The funeral home people were wonderful people and did a really great job. ' co-workers have been just unbelievable, so kind, and helpful. touched so many people and once you met him you liked him instantly. Many of his co-workers have used their frequent flyer miles to fly 7 family members to NJ so that we didn't have to take that awful two day trip to NJ. We fly out tomorrow. He traveled once a month to Cable Vision in NY and those that met him there also fell in love with him. He was just that way--like said he was my " social butterfly " that everyone loved! Thank you all for all your thoughtful messages and emails. I haven't felt like sitting down and emailing so I will respond soon.
