Wow, I don't even know where to begin. First I want to send my love to Mrs. Grilli, Alex, Diane and Arlene. Mr. Grilli was a fixture on Rumson Road, he was like a second dad in the neighborhood, always willing to help, full of energy and just a super nice person! His presence will be missed by many. May God comfort you through this difficult time and know he is at peace, I am sure my parents welcomed him in Heaven! xoxo

There was nothing better than to have Carlos yell at me to play harder in a soccer pick-up game and do the right thing--he raised everyone's game. He was an inspiration to each of us and a kind man and friend always checking in on how you were doing and so caring. I will miss him dearly. He was a beloved man in his community. Blessings to Maria and to everyone in his immediate and extended family.
