Dear loved ones, please know that our hearts go out to you and we wish that we could be by your side. Your father was such a loving happy fun person to be around and that has reflected in all of his and beautiful Rose's children and grandchildren. He left quite a legacy and I'm so proud that he's a branch in our family tree! He will be forever missed and I hope he gives granny Sal, your mom, my mom and the rest of the gang a big hug for us! Will be back home this weekend and hopefully we can see you guys soon.... meantime give Rose a kiss and hug from Dave and I.xoxox
