Dear Dickie and Janice;
I am SO very sorry to learn of Dick's passing. And, I am so sorry to have missed the services to offer my condolences in person. There are so many memories to recount as time passes all too quickly. I have chuckled a million times in the last year as I recall a series of jokes he told me when I last saw him. Warm hugs to both of you. I hope to see you soon.
Much love always, Jeanne Charello Fusco

Very sorry to hear about Mr. Chakuroff's passing. He often visited me at Shore's Market, spent time telling me about his military service, and sharing with me many memories. I will miss him, his jokes, and his kindness.
