This is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult time for the D'Angelo family. The Advisory Committee discussed Tuesday - and voted Wednesday - to use OBCaccount funds to send a floral arrangement and/or fruit basket to Bob. This was done simply to expedite the process and get the gift to Bob as soon as possible. A fruit basket has been ordered, and should be delivered to Bob's house today. The flowers will be ordered and delivered to the funeral home when the services are scheduled. The funds are available to make this purchase without financial strain on the group's account. HOWEVER, if any of you wish to participate in this gesture, you may make a VOLUNTARY donation by sending payment to OBC treasurer Bob Donaldson either at his home address in the directory, or send PayPal funds to treasurer@oldbaseball.com. Any funds received in excess of the costof the flowers/fruit will be sent to the family with a sympathy card. We also know well the healing power of cardboard; in fact, Bob posted a thanks on TUESDAY, so you know he's noticing the cards even in this terrible time. So perhaps send a card or two his way? His address: BOB D'ANGELO 7248 Bucks Ford Drive Riverview, FL 33578-8378 email: bdangelo@aol.com And Bob, there's a decent chance you're eventually going to read this too. Please know that your OBC brethren stand in solidarity with you in this difficult time. May God's peace wash over you today. Aaron Shirley, on behalf of the Advisory Committee
