It is still hard to believe Uncle Sonny is no longer with us. Massachusetts has lost their best tour guide. He loved his home state and enjoyed showing guests around the historical sites. He will be sorely missed. I love both him and his family. My prayers will continue to cover you all.

Where ever I have i lived he has come to visit....Hawaii, Virginia, Savannah, he did miss Germany tho! He was a very special person in my eyes and in my heal. I will dearly miss him, but I will always love him!!!

Four years ago today I became part of this wonderful family and Papa John ("The Patriarch") was the center of it. It was an honor to be his daughter-in-law. He will be sorely missed by me and all who knew him. Pop, I hope you get chicken salad in Heaven. Love you always, Peg
