I am sorry to learn so late of Enzo's passing. I remember him well from when he joined our class briefly in 1949 in Manhattan, NY, at Cathedral College, our junior seminary of preparation for the priesthood. It is good to see in these condolences that he went on to live such a rich and fruitful life, ever the gentleman.
God bless you, Enzo. May you be ever in peace.
