Dear Quattrochis,
My brother Tom just gave my siblings and me a detailed report of the wake and funeral for your husband and father. I am sorry I could not have been there.
I have nothing but fond memories of "Mr. Quattroch" whether it was "covering for me" when I would bring a wrecked car in to Pete's, playing golf at the CC of P, or getting a wave from him as he cruised in the 4th of July Parade. Even after I left Pittsfield he always showed a genuine interest in me and my family whenever I came home.
The list of his civic contributions and accomplishments goes on and on and is most impressive indeed. But his dedication to church and family should get the most attention. He was a devoted leader of both. Tom mentioned that, among the myriad of other assignments, Bob was responsible for unlocking the doors at St. Mark's Church every morning and he had done so the day of his passing! I am firmly convinced that Bob Quattrochi has already approached St. Peter, offering to give him a day off if he ever wanted to take a break from opening the gates of Heaven. Because that's the kind of guy he was.
Love, in abundance,
Joe Farrell, III
