To the Graziano family -
Rantilla and I are very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Uncle Vinny with his trademark sunglasses. I am very happy to see him one more time wearing them. I hope he wears them forever, if you know what I mean.
Love, Rantilla and Philman Jacksidion.

To the Graziano family I want you to know how I loved to talk to Vinny at the pool, His stories about your Mom; the love he had for her; was so genuine. Vinny will always live in my memory. It was an honor to have known him and share the summers and my noodle at the pool with him. He truly was one in a million. I will miss him.
