Mr. Federico, I can't thank you enough for letting be part of your life for almost three years. You have always treated like part of your family and always with the upmost respect. You don't encounter people like yourself today and yet i was so lucky to have. In the short time I've known you I have so many good and funny memories with you. when I see the Departed or Rocky movies I will smile thinking of you. I never considered myself your caregiver but always my pal,from the moment I met you you always treated me like a friend and never an employee as well as your kids did,and thats why i loved coming to your home and helping you out. I will miss bringing you your coffee and just chatting with you in general but most of all I will miss your smile and your upbeat postive attitude that you showed thru out everything that was thrown you way. Mr. Federico you will never be forgotten you have left behind abundance of great memories that your family and friends will be talking about for years to come. Thank you again for letting me be part of your life I am a better person for had known you. With sincere respect and sadness I will miss you.

To my Papa,
You were the best and kindest and most loving Papa ever. You smiled and always got better, and you never gave up, but this time you were really too tired. You loved Me and Donny and Abby, and helped us be the kids we are today. I will never forget you. I love you Papa. I hope I make you proud when you are watching me in the Nutcracker. Whenever I am worried I can always look up to you.
Sweet Annie, Annie Ann Ann.

I am so sorry for the heartache all of you are going through. I know Lou is devestated after knowing your dad for over 70 years. He'll miss his week-end visits. He put up a good fight and now he is at peace and pain free, and in time you will be too. Marilyn, we are so sorry for your loss and the children;s and for our loss of a friend also. God bless you all now and in the future. Love and prayers, Pat and RED
