Grampy words cannot begin to describe the times we have shared, the trips to Coney Island just you and me, our long drives to Orlando and every memory of spending so much time with you and Grammy on Lincoln st. I'm so proud to have had so many laughter filled years and watching you love all of us so much. There will never be a better Grampy/Papa in this world. You will be deeply missed.

We were so sad to hear of Riccardo's passing. He was a great man, and we always enjoyed his company. I know my dad was very fond of Riccardo and likened him to another brother. Our sincere sympathy to the whole family.

I only met Sandi's parents once at the airport but I felt like I knew them more because of all the nice things she had said in our many conversations. It isn't easy but the wonderful memories will always be with you. You will be in my prayers.
