Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • I remember going to the Halstead farm a few times on the weekend with Brad and meeting his Grandfather and Grandmother. When Brad told me about the go-kart his uncle Ron built and his Grandma said "If you can get it to run, be careful, Lunch will be ready soon." My deepest and sincerest condolences. ~ Carmine Fiorillo - Posted by: Carmine Fiorillo (Family friend) on: Feb 03, 2018
