“I know that you are in the place of peace you deserve,” she wrote.
“I will be forever grateful to have known you.
You were one of the most special people I have ever met.
Full of humor, talent, wisdom and love and most of all loyalty.
This world has lost a REAL ONE but the heavens have gained an ANGEL.”

No one radiated more agony, pain, and atomic energy.
The Cerberus from Yonkers, who suffered for all of our sins and his own.
The struggle incarnate.”
