Ruth,
Your father was a wonderful, caring man. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Ruth and Rick and John,
Sincerely our deepest condolences to all of your family. Mr Risi will never be forgotten. He tought me everything I know about HVAC and also about being a good person. The Trades have certainly lost a hero, a pioneer and a ledgend. Not to mention a great father and husband.
We are so sorry to hear about Vin. We know it is a difficult time right now and are thinking of all of you with love and prayers.
Vin was a kind and helpful neighbor when I was growing up. He and Lela continued to help Milton and my mother, Mary for many years after they moved. Our condolences to Lela, Ruth, Debbie, Peggy and John.
