From our special trips only for my sister and I to Niagra Falls, sharing the same bed (with a huge fan in our faces, I guess I get that from you), always slipping some money into my pocket to buy some candy, to always giving a helping hand (sometimes too much haha!) to my dad, myself, Grandma, anyone who you came in touch with, to the biggest hug and kiss and kid could handle, Grandpa, you are the happiest, strongest, most gentle Italian Stallion I will ever meet. I will keep it going strong down here for you, always be missed, Tim

Dear Breanna, Dan, Alyssa, Jeanine, Larry, and the rest of your family, Although we only new your dad/grampa for a short while it was easy to see he loved you all and you loved him. He was such a happy man who seemed to love his family deeply. He was a hit at Dan and Bre's wedding because of his outstanding dancing and infectious smile. We enjoyed going to Mass and sharing Easter Breakfast with him a year and a half ago. He looked so proud of his granddaughter and her husband that day. Everyone loved him. He must have been quite the grampa. Dan got a kick out of his gambling and how much he enjoyed going to the casino. He is now dancing up in heaven with his beloved and watching over all of you. Please accept our prayers and sympathy in your loss. With love and prayers, Gary, Carol, and Karen

To Uncle Johnnie's family: Don and I send our heartfelt condolences at your loss. He so embodied the goodness within the family. His laughter, story telling sitting under the tree in Manlius, going to lunch and chatting will be so missed. He was so loving, sweet and kind. A light in our lives went out this week. So glad we could celebrate his birthday with him this year. Now he is with his love Angie and his Brothers and Sisters. We are heartbroken and sad we can not be with you during this difficult time.
Your cousins Don and Darlene

I love you grandpa! You were the most caring and gentle man i have ever met. You taught me so much throughout the years and we always knew that we could count on you to give us a laugh! Thanks for the smile you always had on your face no matter what the situation was. You're up there dancing in heaven now with grandma to frank Sinatra humming the toon under your breath! We will miss you so much but know you're now watching over us. Love you.
