Aunt Rose and Cousin Danny,
I will always remember my Uncle Silvio with a camera. He always took the pictures at family events. I will always remember my Uncle polishing his car, it always shinned like it was just painted, and he was very busy trying to keep us kids away from it with our dirty hands. I will always remember my mom taking us to the parade in Providence because Uncle Silvio was marching with his unit. I will always remember my Uncle Silvio's laughter, and joking around with us kids. I will always remember my Uncle Silvio, he was always there during my growing years......I will miss him dearly. Although we can't be there for you, you are in our thoughts and prayers. All our Love, Jo-Ann (Dellaposta) & Bob Carberry
