Dear Mary, Roseanne, Larry, Joey, and Johnny,
Sorry for your loss! I have alot of fond memories of Carl living 2 doors away in West Seneca, NY. I remember he worked alot and expected alot of his children. You all were the first Italian American family I met at age 5 and left a lasting memories of your traditions, foods, family gatherings and talking with alot of passion using your hands! I miss all of you and am reminded of our childhood adventures when I visit my own parents weekly on Barnsdale. Mary I can still remember what a neat home you kept and good cook! Take care Love Kathleen
