Tom Jr. Just heard about your dad this Friday. You know how I felt about him. We had a great time working together. I´m sorry I missed the funeral. There´s so many stories between your dad and my brother that I think of. Please accept my apology for not being there. By the time I found out it was too late. I know he´s with Angelo and all the other teamsters having a good time. May he Rest In Peace.
