Hey Pops, just been thinking about you a lot lately. We miss you a lot, your granddaughters are doing so well. Baylie is halfway through college and Brooklynn halfway through Lenape. Both are killing it and have jobs they love! Kelli merged her business with a nice couple from North Jersey, she is doing what she loves, taking care of the senior community. I just had my 10 year anniversary w ADP. I’m taking a leap of faith into a new role to challenge myself. It’s a shame because I won’t be managed by your pal Kevin (he talks of you often, I know you loved him for how we treated me). But we’re lifelong friends! Hope you and mom are being nice to one another, tell everyone I said hello and keep watching out for me and my girls! Love you pops, T!

Thomas, first of all I want to thank you for being a great G-pop to our 2 sons. Watching soccer games, coming over for dinner and attending the “show” afterwards. They will always remember you their on Christmas Day opening presents, walking with them on Halloween and helping with math homework. Susan and I will miss you, as you were called home too soon. I know you have been reunited with Johnny and Barbara whom you missed so much. You lived your life your way and had a great time doing it. Rest In Peace Thomas, Love Baccala.

Tommy and I went to St. Raymond School together. We were in the same class. We used to play together first grade through fifth grade. I have fond memories of us on Woolston Avenue. He was a tough kid and I was naive. He taught me street smarts. I miss those days.

Miss you dad

Dad, thank you for being my coach, mentor and confidant. You taught me more about what not to do to keep me on the right track, I’ll never forget that. But most importantly, you were always there to listen, good and bad! Thank you, I love you
