I loved my uncle Sam with all my heart.
I loved his stories of Italy and of his family. I loved that he spoke Italian and wished I knew it as well. I had the pleasure of picking him up from time to time and spending quality time with him. I will miss him so much, but, he is with his wife now and I know he is happy. He led a wonderful and positive life and I will miss his laugh so very much.
My prayers go out to Ros, Tina, Dan and Greg.
with love, Carol Attanasio-Bose Rick, Ricky and Kayla

Uncle Sam was a rock, like so many of our family's seniors. Who we are is tightly linked to the lessons taught, the love and support they expressed towards us all. My heart aches, but I know he will always be with us. He has gone to join his loved ones in heaven. A place of peace and serenity. I am a lucky person to have had such a wonderful uncle in my life. Rest in peace Uncle Sam.

I will miss my Uncle Sammy so much, he has always reminded me so much of my Grandfather (which was his brother) who passed on before him. So every time I got to see Uncle Sammy it was like getting to be with Grandpa too. My love, prayers, and condolences go out to his immediate family, Ros, Tina and grand kids during this difficult time. ~Andreanna Attanasio (Great Niece)
