To the Editor:

On behalf of Thomas “Buck” Spinola’s children: A heartfelt “thank you” goes out to everyone who helped give our father a beautiful service and homecoming to heaven.

A special thank you goes out to Lynn Spinola, Alicia Frye and Joe Spinola for all their hard work helping to organizing everything to make this day possible.

Thank you to the staff at Chapman, Cole and Gleason in Wareham for their kindness and direction during this difficult time.

The Onset Veterans of Foreign Wars Post for opening their doors to our family and friends after the services and to the entire Thatcher family for shopping, cooking and serving all the delicious food and desserts.

To everyone who donated to the GoFundMe account – we appreciate you all so much as it would not of been financially possible for us to do it without your generosity. Our family is forever grateful!

To everyone who called, sent flowers, food, messages or shared kind words and stories about our dad, we thank you and appreciate it more than you know.

We will continue to make our dad proud and keep his memory alive.

Gratefully Yours,

Nick, Brendan, Falicia and Mariah and

The Spinola/Gomes Families
