God Bless my beloved Uncle Armand (Tootsie). May the Lord wrap him in his loving arms. I will forever hold dear the memories of receiving a letter almost daily from him throughout my service in Desert Storm. Uncle Tootsie also stood proud at about 2:00AM at Westover AFB to welcome me home. As proud as he was of my Marine Corps service, I was just as proud of the fact that he was a Holyoke Policeman who also put his life on the line serving society. I will miss you dearly Uncle Tootsie.
Josh, Steph and family, Please accept my heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your loved one. May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead.
Heartfelt thoughts and prayers for Paula, the children, grand children, family and friends... may you all find comfort from memories of great times together. I will miss Armands never ending stories about all of you because he loved you all so very much!
I have only seen Armand a few times but he always had a smile on his face. My thoughts. And prayers go out to Paula and her family. He will always be with us in our thoughts and our hearts. He will always be watching down on his family. ?
