Dear Evelyn and Family
I am so sorry to hear the Guido has passed. The memories of our countless times together over many years are flashing by in my mind. I am so happy that he and I were able to reconnect last fall and have lunch and a game of golf together. He was a unique individual, had a big heart, was opinionated in a good way, was skilled at many things such as soccer, gardening and flooring, especially at being a good friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of great loss. Ken
