Yesterday was your birthday Pop. The sun was out in all of its grandeur. It's been a gloomy winter. I miss you more than life but your forever gift keeps me grounded. Gabby is doing well navigating life as an adult, she checks in on Sundays. Jake is good, he's definitely his father's son. I love you. Keep us safe, until we meet again. I love you.

To ALL of the Ferranda family especially Mrs, Jim and Ro,
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather Mr. Tony Ferranda. I only met him very briefly in NJ when I was 15. I met a very hard working yet kind man with son Jim helping him in the front yard in the Twp.
I lost my Dad, only brother and Mom over 18 years, so there is no one left of my original family but I feel your loss deep in my heart. May Mr. Tony Ferranda live on in all of you and keep a closeness between all of you.
It took me this many months to write this, I know you are all grieving in whatever way is good for all of you. My best thoughts and prayers go out to eldest son Jim and his daughter Ro, her children Jake and Gabby and Mrs. Ferranda. I know how much all of them adored their Pops/Gramps.
Hugs and warm thoughts -Michelle Kerman-Szakacs and family (Bob, and grown children Dana, Ali, Nicole and Jeff).

The heat of July 1st will forever bring me back to the morning when my world came to an agonizing halt. I swear the world spins in the other direction and the sun doesn't shine so bright. I walk about lost as if in a daze, I can't seem to get my footing quite right. Trips to dunkin donuts won't taste the same. Trips to Disney and Universal just won't feel right, singing the songs & bee-boppin through the streets. And anytime I dance, I'll always think of you. At Grandma's party where we stole the floor and wowed the crowd. I was most certainly privileged as the oldest grandchild. You gave me 35 years of the best advice, recipes, love & so much more any granddaughter could ever dream of having in a grandfather. And I had you! Jacob, Gabrielle and I will make you the proudest Gramps and Pop in Heaven. ❤

Pop,
You are my father, my hero, my Superman... You taught me how to be a man... You were hard on me, and taught me to be tough... throughout my life you were always there for me... You taught me to always be a gentleman, to always stand up for whats right... though we did not always agree, you never once turned your back on me... there were times when I did not understand your means and methods, there were times I did not understand the "why"... as I have grown older, the understanding came to me...
No greater love has any man ever had, as my love you you dad... In this, the hour of my greatest sorrow, I will remember your words, your teachings and especially your love... I will continue to strive to be the man you made me... I promise, I will take care of mom in your absence... know that I love you, Know that you will never be forgotten...
I love you Pop...
Jim
