Was very sad to hear Mr. Apicella passed away. He was always a great friend to my dad, who also just passed away. I will keep the family in my thoughts.

To Rosie and the Apicella Family, we can't find the words because none will do. Simply put, Jimmy was the best!There were so many years we shared. I was always happy to get him a cup of coffee when he came into the office, just to see his smile. A man that would help any person in any way possible. You and the family should always remember him as he would want; we will remember him the same way, with a song and a smile. God Bless You.
