LETTER: 'You Are All My Best Friends'

East Haven Fire Department member Joseph Lauria and his family send in a letter of thanks to family and friends for taking part in the recent community fundraiser — and for being there for the firefighter during a difficult time.

To the Editor:

Henry Ford once said, “My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me."

I am extremely fortunate to have many best friends in my life. Best friends who are there for me time and time again.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended or donated to the on June 16, 2012.

My family and I continue to be utterly moved and overwhelmed with the support and kindness being shown by family and friends.

I would likely to especially thank Joe Ciscone, Amy Derbacher, and the countless others for organizing this event that is greatly helping my family.

Words can not even begin to express how thankful I am.

While I continue to battle pancreatic cancer, I know each day that I am blessed and lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.

You are all my best friends and you have brought out the best in me, even through this difficult time of my life.

Thank you again for your generosity, donations, and prayers.

Joseph Lauria and Family

I agree Jack is a good man. He however needs to better explain his financial problems. ForeclosureRead More doesn't go forward due to a mistake. Stand up and tell the truth. If you fell behind and got back on track tell us.

Jack is a good and decent man, He would be an asset to this Town if Elected to serve as our Mayor.Read More With that said we look forward to a new beginning in East Haven, One that can set the path to a new vision for the Residents who live here now and the ones yet to come. Yes its easy to say I like Jack

Gene, Jack is your party's pick, so what else are you to say. As to Jack, if he is anything likeRead More his father he IS a good man. But being just a good man doesn't cut it in todays small world politics. Jack has issues he needs to explain and I am sure when he time comes he will. But as to this article, I wouldn't expect anything else from the SHADOW. Wouldn't want him backing me for anything.

I asked the question and you gave me the answer I was looking for, and I thank you for that. As toRead More the rest of your dribble, doesn't deserve a response for EVERYONR knows all about the true Gene aka ******** Ruocco.

Richard, the Mayor kicked the CEO of the company that had the contract out of his office less than aRead More month after he won the election. The contract was with the town not the BOE. And if you think the only thing to check is if the panels are dirty, then it isn't worth answering you. A large investment of tax dollars was made and it is paying off with lower electric bills. The systems delivering these savings need to be checked, that is why people who were smart enough to sign a maintenance agreement did just that. Ask the BOE how the chiller replacement is going at the High School; due to lack of maintenance they lost two chillers that should have lasted at least 10 to 15 more years. Penny wise and dollar foolish is what this is all about, not the election year, but what else could we expect from you Richard. You have become the cheer leader of the administration.

Boy, you just know it's an election year. Gene, one question, when was this contract stopped?Read More Just now or some time ago, but seeing its getting "close' to November you just thought you would bring this up. Besides, shouldn't your question be aimed at the B of E, not the Mayor. And what is to be maintained anyway beside washing the panals now and then? You just keep us all informed now Gene.
