Greece, N.Y. -- Mark Resch had seen a counselor last week for problems related to the loss of his job, break-up of his marriage, and struggles with alcoholism. But Resch's sister Carla Vick says, "It was too late."
The family knew Mark was struggling, but Vick said they didn't know how deeply he was hurting or that he had planned violence against his only son, Hunter.
Greece Police say Resch left a note detailing his plan to kill his son. They found it in his house on Island Cottage Road after discovering the bodies of father and son. Both had been shot to death.
Police say in the note Resch blamed his wife Susan and marital problems and indicated he was killing Hunter out of "spite."
This leaves Resch's family members stunned. They say there were no indications Mark would or could hurt Hunter. They say he was the "light" of his father's life.
Carla Vick said, "The message is: this isn't the answer, there is always help. There is always help."
Grief counselors are helping families of Hunter's classmates at Paddy Hill School in Greece with ways to explain this violent death to their children. Hunter's aunt, Carla Vick said he had an angelic face and smile.
The family and friends are grieving for Hunter and Mark. Police, meanwhile, are trying to determine where Resch got the gun used in the killings.
He was forced to surrender what he said was his only shotgun last month, after a court issued an Order of Protection preventing Resch from contacting his wife Susan.
The order did not affect Resch's visitation rights with his son.
"It's a fine line. Fathers have rights too...we never thought this could happen," said Vick.
Services for Hunter and Mark Resch will be held separately this week. Hunter's Cub Scout Pack 14 in Greece is also starting a foundation to remember the young scout.

Soo sad!!! A man driven so crazy by the exwife and the corrupt system, that he kills his child and himself. This.....this is why the fathers rights movement has to suceed. It is time to put an end to the unholy and uncivil wars the corrupt family court system starts. It time to create a fair and just system that would avoid , from the start, these "blood feuds" and create peace. Women would have to give up the "special priviledges" , but the kids would ultimately be the winners.
