GREG DEKABAN wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Heather and Family, On behalf of the rest of the Dekaban family, please accept our deepest sympathies and condolences for the loss of your father. While the last while was difficult and unpleasant, with time the good and happy memories of your father will rise to the surface. Linda and I only just met your father earlier this past summer but it was evident from this brief encounter that he was a kind-hearted and helpful person. Please accept our best wishes, Greg and Linda Dekaban”
