Stephanie and family: I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I so often saw him walking the neighborhood and wondered ….what a nice man he was. Often think of you and the kids; NEVER see anyone…May God help you through this painful time.
Our mother and father sponsored Voyo to come to the U.S. from a European refugee camp in 1947. For 70 years, he repaid that gesture with kindness, friendship and love, so much that we always considered him a member of our family. He was a wonderful man who we will miss. Memory eternal uncle Voyo.
Stephanie and Family,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. May he R.I.P.
