Louie, your gone 5 years and it's so hard for me to believe that many years have passed. I never thought I would make it through the first year but with the help of Michael Louis and Tessa and your sisters and neighbors I'm still here and doing O.K I don't have to tell you that my life has changed and it took me a long time to accept the change and I have. I do volunteer work at the library, I'm helping a Mexican women with her reading and speaking better English. She wants to get her GED so that she can get a job. That keeps me busy 2 days a week and I also belong to a church group, we socialize and end up saying the Rosary, and then 4 or 5 of us go out to lunch. Our neighbors Phyllis and Jerry have been so good to me and Nita has too. So all and all Hon I'm doing O.K There was a problem with the shop on Orange Grove and Michael and I took care of it. The old galvanized pipe in the metal Bldg. was leaking and we were forced to put in copper piping. Michael helps me thru all of the problems and I am so grateful.

I will miss you for the rest of my life and I will love you forever, Rosemary

April 30, 2017

Louie, today is April 30th, our 62nd wedding anniversary. I love you as much today as I did 62 years ago. You will be in my heart forever.

Rosemary

March 10, 2017

Louie, it's been a while since I last wrote to you. I want you to know I'm doing o.k.I miss you so much. I miss "us". It's 4 years since your gone and I think of you so many times during the day. It has been such a wet, cold winter and I have not been to see you since before Christmas. Michael and I are planning to go to Rose Hills on Sunday, March 12th. It's supposed to be a warm day.

Were all doing fine Hon. We will never stop missing you. I talk to Carmine about once a week and we end up reminiscing the old days when you and Marty were still with us. Such wonderful memories of our lives. I was 83yrs. old on Jan.2nd Hon and you and I would have celebrated by going to Morongo.

I will never stop loving you Hon. There are so many memories of you around the house. I think so many times of when we were both young and I lose myself in those memories.

Goodnight my love, Rosemary

April 30, 2016

Happy Anniversary Hon.

Today is our 61st wedding anniversary. I thought about us for the past 2 days and of course today I relived our wedding and the reception at the "Turn Hall" in Mt. Vernon.

We got married at 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon at St.Anthony's church in Mt.Vernon on Saturday April 30th. I remember everything about that day. After the ceremony we went to the photographers studio down on 1st. street in Mt. Vernon to have our pictures taken.

After the reception we changed clothes at Mom and Dads house and we left on our honeymoon. We drove over the George Washington Bridge to New Jersey in your 1949 Ford and we stayed overnight in N.J. The next morning we started on our trip to Daytona Beach, Fla. where we would spend our honeymoon and the next 57 years together.

I love you Hon and I always will. You always told me "we have something special" and we did. So Happy Anniversary my love. You are always in my heart.

Rosemary

Hi Dad,
I have some sad news, we had to put down Maya. She had developed cancer her lip. The cancer moved very quickly, before we knew it, her legs became immobilized.

Putting her down, that brought back so many memories of Sarge.

But, Michele and I knew it was the right thing to do.

So, she is with you now, I know that she is running around, no pain.

The boys are doing well, Michele and I are doing fine.

Believe this, I am teaching now. I am a contract instructor. I teach at the local community center and I am applying to teach at a local community college.

I enjoy giving back.

Dad, every morning I ask you to watch over the family. Keep us all going strong.

Dad, you take care. Enjoy playing with our beautiful Maya.

Love,

Mike and Michele and the boys.

October 22, 2015

Hon, it's been three years the 2nd of October that you are gone. I'm doing O.K, but miss you so much. I miss "us" Hon. I talk to you every day especially when I'm in the garage. You did so much there. Michael, Louis & Tessa are all O.K. All of us miss you so much. The holidays are right around the corner and we'll get through them. Each passing year gets a little easier. I'm in a writing class and I'm writing the story of my life. You are so much a part of my life and you still are. I think of you every day. It helps me get through the day. Death ends a life, not a relationship. Jack Lemon wrote that in one of his books and it is so true. How could I forget 57 years. I couldn't write on the actual anniversary of your passing, Hon. I just couldn't do it. Writing my story Lou, brought back so many memories of us, going back and remembering so many years ago when the kids were young and so were we.I wanted the kids to know some of the history of my family when they came from Italy to America, and then get into the story of my life.

Goodnight Hon, I love you, Rosemary

Happy Birthday Louie. Today is Dec. 5th. I thought about you all day You would have been 81 today. We probably would have gone to the Casino today.

Michael & I went to see you last week. I'm glad we did because it rained a couple of days ago & the ground would have been to wet for us to sit.

I love you Hon and will for the rest of my life. Rosemary

Tessa Spaulding

Hi dad, i know it has been a while since i posted a message to you. Everyday i pray that you stay with me as i go through my day and i especially ask and pray that you send mom a sign that she will feel knowing that you are right there with her. Brett has been completing his MAI designation for his profession you would have so much to talk with him about since you were such a wizard of real estate he really misses you and he wishes he had more time with you. as for me i am training for Souee Chef at work. Basically it means I can perform every task and prepare any kind of food that is requested. on that note i cook for senior citizens who love my food. of course it has heavy italian overtones however due to the chef pants i wear to work the participants call me the "lady with the crazy pants" which i absolutley love. I call mom daily and tell her everything that's going on. I wish you were here so brett and i could tell you how much we love you and to say "Thank You" for everything you did for your family. I Love You Dad!! Tessa

I'm getting by as best as I can, I know you're watching over me and i pray that you have Mom & Dad right there with you. I miss my big brother my buddy so much and your're always in my thoughts and prayers. The girls are fine as are the little ones, Frank is doing the best he can is all I can say. I Love You always your "LiL Sis forever in my heart ~ Rosemarie

October 1, 2014

Hon, today is Oct.1st. Who knew this would be your last day with all of us. Your gone 2 yrs. & I have relived everything. I wish it were all different Hon, but I can't change any of it. Tessa & Brett sent me a beautiful vase of flowers with a lovely note. I got it this afternoon. I managed to get thru the day O.K but the flowers got to me.
I love you Hon and miss your presence in the house every minute of the day.
I put your remembrance in the paper for tomorrow. I used a different picture this year. I hope it looks good. It's one of you in the police volunteer uniform.
I love and miss you and will for the rest of my life.

Louie, today is Father's Day & I miss you so much. Michael I went to the cemetary last week because I knew we wouldn't make it today. There is so much to tell you about the family. Tessa & Brett bought a house in Chattanooga. They both have very good jobs and are doing O.K. Michael is on the radio with a garden show. He's on Sat. Mornings for 1 hour. and he is able to advertise his business. It's a local radio station and it is affiliated with NBC. He is so much like you Hon. He has your drive and determination. You would be so proud of him. Louis is O.K Nothing much changes with his situation. He's trying very hard to straighten his life out. You are still so much a part of me Hon. I get thru my days O.K I go to a couple of groups and socialize but you are never far from me. I will love and miss you for the rest of my life. I know I have not written in a long time but I have been thinking of you so much and this is the only way I can be close to you. I'll be coming to Rose Hills in a couple of weeks. Michael & I will be going to Point Loma, hopefully with Carmine and we'll be going to the cemetary to see Mom & Dad. It has been so many years since we were there. We'll be going on Sunday, 6/22. If you only knew how often I think of us and "the old days" when the kids were small and the places we used to go. Thank you Hon for everything. You will always have all my love..........Rosemary

Hi Louie, I got news last week that your cousin Steve Apikos passed away. If you were still here this news would have made you very sad. I know how much you enjoyed talking to Steve. I talked with Irene and we reminisced about that wonderful family reunion we had all those years ago. Everyone had such a great time. Steve was 84 and not in the best of health. I was very sorry to hear that he had passed away.

I'm doing fine Hon.Michael, Michele, & I will be in Oceanside on Sat. to visit Marty. I can't believe she's gone 3 yrs. I miss her so much.

I love you Louie. I pray to you every day to surround me with your love & your strength. Watch over Michael,Louis,Tessa and me. We miss you so much. My love always, Rosemary

October 24, 2013

Hi Louie, Lillian called me the other day. Her and Rocky were at Rose Hills to visit the graves of her Mother and Father and they visited you too Hon. She called to tell me that. It was so nice of them to take the time to go see you. Lillian told me what a beautiful marker you have and she loved the picture. She said that's how she remembered you.

We have known them from when we got married and even before. That's a long time ago.

I miss you so much. Love, Rosemary

October 18, 2013

Hi Louie, I went to the cemetary yesterday, it was such a beautiful day and I just wanted to be close to you. I was there a little over an hour when Michel pulled up. I was so surprised to see him. I thought he was working. He had been at a trade show in Long Beach and then came to the cemetary. I know it was more than a coincidence that we both were there at the same time. God put us there together to be with you.

I'm going to see Louis tomorrow. He misses you very much. He's in a Veterans program that is helping him. He has a very nice apt. in Loma Linda, fully furnished. He's trying to straighten out his life. I encourage him whenever I can.

I'm doing O.K Hon. I miss you terribly but the days pass and I keep myself busy. My life and your life were so intertwined and I will never let that go. I will love you for the rest of my life, Rosemary

Dear Dad,
Dad, I can not believe it has already been one year since you are gone. Each morning, I say my pray to you, each day you answer my prays. Dad, I realized that you passed three gifts on to me: determination, drive and discipline. It is because of those three gifts that I continually push myself. More importantly, those three gifts provide me with strength and determination to fulfill my promise to you.
Although, here is something to would make your day. I have figured out how to regulate palms. Once again Dad, drive, discipline and determination. Dad, being very similar to you in my thinking, I kept working at it until I got it.
I miss you so much Dad, but I know you are always on my shoulder.
Before I go Dad, you would always ask me how I am doing well Dad. I am just doing my thing. Just like you Dad, I am doing it my way.
Mom did a great job with the properties, she had a couple of moments. But she did just great.

I miss you Dad, thank you for always being on my shoulder. Thank you for the three gifts.

Love Mike

Michele Ventura

HI Dad
I can't believe it's now past a year that you have been gone. It's been a hard year, and now I lost my dad too. I can't believe Michael and I have lost our dads in under 1 year. But I know you both watch over us. I miss seeing you in your chair when we go over and I even miss hearing you holler to me "shut the door please" when Mom and I would be talking loud in the kitchen. The boys think of you often and miss you lots. They are blessed with wonderful memories of their time spent with you, especially when you would cheer them on at their basketball games.
Miss and love you Dad
~ Michele

October 15, 2013

Hi Hon, Tom Mccarthy called the other day. He remembered the date of your passing. He called to see how I was doing. He misses you so very much. He told me it's not the same without you. I know the feeling. He doesn't go on patrol on Thursday anymore. He still goes out with Helen. I thanked him so much for thinking about me, and he said if there is anything he can do for me to please call him.

I think of you every Thursday morning when you and Tom would go on patrol together. There are so many memories of you that I carry in my heart.

I love you Hon. Now that I have finally learned how to get into this guest book you'll be hearing from me a lot. Rosemary

October 14, 2013

Hon, It's one year since you are gone. My life has changed so much. It will never be the same. I think of you so many times during the day wishing you were here. I sit in your chair at night. I don't watch much TV but when I do I'm in your chair. I don't know how I got thru this past year. I was so overwhelmed by so many things. Thank God for Michael. He has helped me thru so many times. You taught him well, Hon. I talk to Alex every so often. Knowing that you and he would call each other It gives me a good feeling to keep in touch with him. It's like having a link to you. I pray to you every day Hon that you will watch over me and the kids and to surround us with your love and your strength. I will love you for the rest of my life and I will never stop missing you. We were so much a part of each other. Rosemary

Hey Dad,
Since your passing, I have had some difficult times. Many times I think about the times that you and I would just talk about how you are doing, golf, etc.
Each day I ask for you guidance and to provide me with the wisdom that I will need to hopefully make the correct decisions. Each day Dad, you answer my prays. Always remember Dad, swing strong and shoot straight.

Dad it is very hard for me knowing that I can't pick up the phone and talk to you. I know that you are watching over me, mom, michael and louis. I know that your spirit lives on in each of us. One of my most favorite memories of us is when i caught my first Baracuda fish when we went deep sea fishing on the boat. I came across the picture of me holding the "big fish" when we were making your collague that truly is my favorite picture. You impacted my life in so many ways i cannot begin to list them.Always know that i love you so very much and I truly will see you on the other side. I will bring you some of my Chicken Salad. I love you Tessa

To My Dearest Uncle Louie,
It is not easy to accept that you will no longer be just a phone call or airplane flight away. I have many fond memories of my time spent with you as a child. One of my fondest memories of us is when you taught me how to do sit-ups when I was only about 9 years old. The other memory that I will never forget is a favorite saying that we used to have from the bugs bunny cartoon, "Bon Voyage" ( we used to pronounce it " bon voy ardie"). Another memorie I have is all the times you played with me and my sisters in the pool. You were so much fun. I will miss you deeply and carry your memories of the fun times we had always. Rest in peace. I love you Uncle Louie.

Your Loving Niece,
Stephanie

Words cannot express how deeply you will be missed, if for ever tear that is shed and every thought and memory you shared can be used as a guide, I am cetain the number will be too high to count. You will always be in our hearts. Please give Nanny and Bopop a hug and kiss for me. Much Love from all of us... Teri, Steve, Niki and Kyle

George Jones

Mr. Ventura,

Thank you for the many laughts we had together and some tears we shared.
But what I will miss the most is when we had our family gatherings and you would tap me with your cane and tell me I can use this cane for many other things other than walking.
I will be there for Mike and Mrs. Ventura. May you have many holes in one.
Rest in Peace,

Love George Jones

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time grief. Psalms 46:1 says God is for us a refuge and strength and a help readily to be found during difficult times. May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.

Sheri Cavaliere Taylor

Uncle Louie,
To say you will be missed is so true, but to say how much you were loved, appreciated, admired fills my heart with joy to have you as my very special Uncle Louie. Although we lived far away, you were ALWAYS there for us & supported us. From casual hello's on the phone, to fun memories in our childhood, to always thinking of us on the most special occassions in our life. You WERE THERE. I always looked forward to hearing your voice and your laugh, and speaking with both you and Aunt Rosemary. You both were truly blessed with your loving marriage and beautiful family, and look to you as an inspiration and role model in life.

This is not "Bonviardi" (as you would say to me as a kid), but until we say hello again one day. Give Nanny & Bopbop my best. I love you.

Louie
I will love you for the rest of my life. The 57 years that we had together, we had our ups and downs, but I know how deeply you loved me. It will be hard for me to live without you, but Louis, Michael and Tessa will get me through this.
Until we are together again.

to my dearest brother louie: Although you have moved so far away from the family, you have never left our hearts. The times we have spent together will always be cherished. Sometimes we may not agree on everything, but one thing for sure we always agreed on the love we had for each other. I know you are out of pain and with mom and dad now just save some room for when we will all be together again.
All my love and prayers
Your loving sister norma and loving brother jim

Dad, words can not describe how much you have meant to me. I shall always cherish all the times that we have spent together. I could go on and on, but all I want to say to you is I love you and rest well Dad.
Dad, you are now playing that endless game of golf, swing strong and shoot straight.
Love Mike

Dad
You were more a second dad to me than a father-in-law. And I was very lucky for that. I love and will miss you very much.
