To the Hoboken community

Dear Editor:
In loving memory of my husband, Alan Beck, I extend gratitude for the tremendous support and compassion shown by the Hoboken community during his lengthy illness and his passing.
The overwhelming of concern and love given by members of the Hoboken Police Dept., (PBA & PSOA), Fire Dept., Board of Education, Hoboken School Employees Federal Credit Union, Hoboken Elks, Saint Francis, St. Ann’s, and Our Lady of Grace parishes, Hoboken University Medical Center and its Auxiliary, Atrium Compassionate Care Unit, Lawton-Turso Funeral Home, family and numerous devoted friends was a genuine tribute to his life.
I especially thank Father Michael Guglielmelli, o.f.m., Captain Anthony Romano and Sergeant Dennis Figueroa for their personal and heartwarming eulogies and the following friends who are surely family to me: The Gnassis, Cunnings, Schells, Englands, Buzzancas and Fuscos.
It was evident by the many prayers, calls, cards and visits that Alan loved life and was truly loved in life.
Thank you and God Bless all of you.

Gail Beck
