Dear Teresa, Benedette, Franco and all the family.

Wavecrest Avenue will never be the same without our Gaspare. He was a fine man. One of the best. I was very lucky to have known him.

Teresa, Franco and Bernadette,

I’m so sorry about Papa. He will be truly missed by everyone. Wavecrest Avenue has yet again lost a great one, a legacy. My memories of him are endless. Right from the first bowl of pasta, the mint leaves on the side of the house, the fig trees. Growing up with you all was wonderful. Gaspare treated me so well. Always welcoming me and every Kelly into the house…and that’s quiet a crew!

God bless him and all of you.
