| Dr. Joseph J. Claro (Papa) - October 14, 1923 - May 3, 2012 |
Papa passed away peacefully early Thursday morning at the age of 88. He was a sweet, wonderful man who will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Thanks to everyone for your kind prayers, thoughts and notes of concern during this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteBeen thinking about you daily, Lisa. What a lovely surprise to check in on your blog and see this wonderful picture of your dear Papa. I agree that his personality shines through! My prayers continue for your family.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I've been away (again) but have been wondering about you. I'm sorry I missed this when you posted it, and I'm truly grieved for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteIt just seems like yesterday even though it's been almost five years since my mother died, and will be three years since my father died. It is never easy, I know.

Lisa and family,
ReplyDeleteYou continue to be in my thoughts. I looked at this picture, and it seems to say on papa's T-shirt: "Wine improves with age, I improve too." It made me smile. In his advanced age, he still has such a hearty, warm smile. The love he gave and received must be a reason. There is much consolation in that he passed away peacefully. I see, he will be missed and remembered in many ways.
With love and regards,
Seasons.
woww great post good luck
