Abuelo,
We will miss you very much. We always had so much fun with you at our birthday parties. You always laughed so much and it was fun to climb on you and play with you. We will always remember your smiling eyes. We love you.

Mr. Rivera,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

There were such happy times, even though not long in years. I shall always remember how happy he was with all his family on the occasion of Karen and Martin's wedding and how adoring he was of his grandchildren, especialy on the occasions of their birthdays. Rest in Him Carmelo -

I am dearly sorry for your loss. Ray has always told me how much of a loving and caring man he was; I only wish I knew him personally. With love and regards to his family and friends.

Our condolences to you all. He was a wonderful, warm, friendly man. How appropriate that his beloved Red Sox are reigning World champs as he moves on! We will miss him.

My condolences to the entire Rivera and Johnson families: Carmelo always brought joy to my "Saturdays", even when he wasn't feeling well, he made it a point to make others happy. He will be deeply missed- My thoughts and prayers are with you all in these times of hardship.
