To the Parisi Family, John and I were so very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We enjoyed getting to know him while Bill and the boys, Mark and Dean were working at our home. Bill and I had many great conversations, most being on politics. I think we solved the problems of the world in our conversations. He was a great man and will be missed. Love, Ellen and John Aversa
My deepest sympathies to the Parisi family. May the words at John 5:28, 29 be of comfort.
