My soccer coach and dear friend. Thank you for time, your patience and for teaching me so many things about the values of hard work and loyalty. I became a better soccer player and an even better man because of you.

Dear Anna, Linda and families,
We will miss seeing Loreto at the IACC cafe talking with friends about soccer and the Lazio in particular. It is sad to see another good man go...may he rest in peace in Heaven along with all the other Lazio fans.
Love Mauro and Maria Ciardi
