Dear Laura and family,
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel about Uncle Butch's passing. He and I had a fun relationship. I was his first secretary at Vellucci Insurance and he spent everyday teasing me and making me laugh and sometimes making me cry too. LOL. He jokingly called me the Rice-A-Roni kid from when I was about 10 until the last time I saw him. He will be missed but I know he's in great company and is at peace.
With love,
Deb

My condolences to the Velluci Family. I interacted with Peter for several years in the late 1980's. I always found him as a State Representative to be accessible and genuinely concerned for the welfare of his community. The Sunday afternoon "no cars on part of Memorial Drive" was his idea, but he humbly shared the credit for that idea with others. He was the best, and will be sorely missed.
