To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
Remembering you Cippi and the memories we had growing up together.
You were/are a part of my childhood that I will never forget.
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY

Our Dearest Brother,
Our Dearest Robert,
On Tuesday, August 21, 2007 our brother/Uncle Roberts life came to a shocking and tragic end. We lost someone who brightened our days with his presence and his sense of humor.Just knowing we will never see our brother Robert / Uncle Robert again hurts so, so much! An eternity could not heal this pain it is there forever!!!
Robert, our memories from the past will remain deep in our hearts forever.
While there are tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts we hope you are at peace and rest. I know Mom and Uncle Jimmy were there to greet you with open arms. For whatever the reason why this had to happen we accept this heartache that was handed to us. Robert / Uncle Robert we will always love you so much and you will never, ever,ever be forgotten!!!
We are Family!!!!!! Cape Cod 2007

Memories of Cippi. . .the cute, funny, charismatic drummer in my brother Bill's band, the one with Al Pacino eyes, who stole the heart of many a teenaged girl - including mine - such a long time ago, will be cherished always. Wish you were here. [Attached photo taken November, 1977.]

Cippi was a good friend of mine during our rock band years in bands with Joe Capone, Rohn Cinelli, Fred Carfagna, Mike Sarnie and Mark McKenna...Cippi was an awesome drummer and close friend..he was like a brother to me during those years..unfortunately we never did reconnect..I truly regret not seeing him over the years and sharing our families...Cippi, keep on rockin! If any band members read this, contact me for a possible reunion in his honor..Billy D.

Cippi was the drummer of one of the the very first Bands I was ever in back in the early 60's with Joe Capone, Ralphie D'Angelo. He was also the drummer for the Hard Rock Band that I was in back in the 70's called "White Whale", also with Joe Capone, Billy Donatelli, & Fred Carfagna. That boy could play the drums no doubt. The biggest crowd we played in front of was over 5,000. And we had a ball. First Rock band in E.B, with a light show thanks to his good friend Carl. He was a talented artist a great rock drummer and an all around fun guy to be around. He was loved by many people and he will be missed. Rest in Peace, old friend. Keep rockin in heaven.
