my memories of uncle nick are fun ones from years gone by when we used to watch the grown ups play cards on the weekends at gramma barnes house.we would all gather by the table and look for pennies and nickles (dropped by them) for us to find to go to the penny candy store at the of the street.i remember the time he had my sister and i come on stage at one of the nightclubs he was at. we had on matching dresses ,no doubt made by mom.im sure with all the pictures that cousin janice took over the years there will be many lasting memories.i remember working at aunt (shirleys place )down the beach an oh those bran muffins and onion rings.i hope there is plenty of music in heaven because its boring to rest in peace ,sing and play uncle nick like you used to.its ironic that i lost my dad and my godfather on the same date.my dads was the same day one year ago. get out the cards

to all the renzetti family i wish to share some old memories of childhood with uncle nick and the whole barnes family.I remember you playing cards at gramma barnes house and dropping pennies and nickles on the floor for us to find.we would run down to the penny candy store at the end of the street,thinking we had struck it rich.If we gave a back rub we sometimes earned extra money.I remember the time donna and i were called up on the stage to sing and dance one night.that was a special memorie for me. i think mom made our dresses. I know with all the pictures janice took there will be penty of memories for years to come.I lost my dad a year ago to the day and now my godfather as well. i wont forget the younger years i had with you and aunty,and working at shirleys.i hope there is plenty of music in heaven and you can jump right in

love Patty Cullivan Cisternelli

Mr. Renzetti,
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.
