It is with the deepest sympathy my husband and myself send this note to Gloria LaGrassa and her family. Joe and I first met Carl and Gloria through Jeff Haines, owner of Butlers at Far Hills, Inc. At the time Jeff and Patty Haines and Joe and myself were attempting to raise funds for the Arc of Somerset thru an event called The Arc Angel Ball. It was through their donations and introduction to people within their business world that we were able to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. LaGrassa never wanted public recognition for the great donations he made both professionally and personally. I know the children and adults of The Arc Are saddened as well as we are for the loss of such a great man. His name will always be linked with those persons who truly made a difference in his community. Joe and Betty Petrillo, Bedminster, New Jersey
