I'm still shocked to hear that you have left us. So many, great memories being around you. I was always laughing when I was in your company... your witty personality and your jokes! I have a smile on my face as I'm typing this memory of you... I remembered when you didn't want to listen to someone you would sit beside them with your deaf ear towards them...then look across the table laughing...so many good times my friend. You will be deeply missed. RIP Sambo xoxo

Dad, I miss you soooo much! We need you. Our hearts are broken Dad. Our Family will never be the same because there's a huge hole in it now. I can't stop crying and Matteo keeps saying I want my Papa back :( We all want you back, it hurts terribly.
I want so badly to phone you Dad. I called you twice last night. I Love you so much Dad.....we all do! Mom and Cory are heart broken and can't stop crying. It's going to be so hard for all of us.
Rest in peace Dad xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
