Online Condolences

Dave and Yetty Lombardo

March 27, 2024

Curt and Jenny, Yetty and I wish to express condolences over the loss of your Dad. May only the best of memories of your Dad accompany you in the days and years ahead.

A little anecdote if I may....When I worked for the HCSO I bought a S&W .357 as my service revolver. Your Dad thought the trigger action was a little stiff and offered to work the action for me. The first time I fired it after his work I nearly lost my grip on the thing it went off so smoothly. Muscle memory hadn't caught up to the gun's new nature.
