My Prayers of Comfort to the Marraffa family for your loss.
I have met many people in my life and only a handful I can truly say has left a Major Impression on me.
Mr. Marraffa was one of those people. He was a very genuine, honest and good guy.
He will be remembered by me forever.
Sincerely

To John and the entire Marraffa Family.....
Losing a loved one is difficult. The loss of a parent is different as they have always been our "go to" person from the time we were brought into the world. They shared the good times and bad.
I sincerely hope you find comfort in the memories you have made and extend my deepest sympathy at this difficult time.
God Bless you,
RoAnn

To Louise and family:
Jeannine and I extend our deepest sympathy to you.
I worked with Murk for several years at UFD. He was a great man.
I'll never forget our family picnic at our camp in Old Forge years ago.
Sorry I am unable to make it to his wake.

Some of my best childhood memories are when I worked at the Marr-Logg, especially my days in the kitchen with Angelo. I grew up from a kid to a man working there, and Angelo taught me a lot, especially about working hard while having fun. He loved his family so much and it showed. I’m sad that I did not get to see Angelo the last few years since I have not been home, but I will carry the fond memories of all the laughs and good times we had forever. John and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear of your Father's passing. I would have liked to have been there for you, as you and Annette have always been, for me. I have a scheduled trip up to Utica this Sunday, and I will be sure to stop in and see you then.
