Angela, Chrissy and Joey - I just heard about your father's passing. I am very sorry for your loss. I do remember your Dad telling stories of his past and the way he used to laugh - I always enjoyed talking with him. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

My Dad was always there for his children and grandchildren and did everything he could for all of us. When he would call me once in a while he would say, "You wanna hear something funny?" I will miss talking to him every day.

My Dad was a very special person. He was a great Dad and Grandpa to Francesca & Sal. Loved all sports,loved talking about his family and life in Louisiana. I will miss his funny phrases such as. "Let me tell you something" or when talking about politics, "We all should write a letter". One of my favorites was when I lived in a condo in Wood Dale, he wanted to know my room number like it was a hotel. I will miss him so much.
