My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.

I am so sad to read Spoon's obit.  My condolences to the whole family.  I will miss him greatly.
Maybe when it is my turn I will take my boat and we can fish together again.}

Patti, Steve, Sherry, and Family
So sorry for the loss of David (Shannon).  That's what we called him years ago.  He was my best man at my first wedding in 1973.  All the basketball and fishing trips we did, I can't count that high.  God Bless you all.

My condolences go out to Patti & Steve. My heartfelt sympathy to Sherry Bartolo and her family besides being cousins, i know first hand how close they are. Think of it this way, GOD needed a Cardinal Fan, a Fisherman & a Bartender.  I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace my Brother.

I am so sorry to hear of Spoons passing.  I will always remember his infectious smile and great sense of humor.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family.
