Calogero, a man of great faith who was part mad scientist, inventor, and adventurer- and always had a silly joke. You made my childhood magical. The methodical wisdom you shared with me throughout my life has had a major influence on who I am today. Although I will miss you, I am happy you are where you truly want to be. Salute.

Love you so much, Pop Pop! Give Grandma a big kiss from me. You were the best grandfather. Thank you for always believing in us and sharing in our fantasy when we were children. Some of the best moments of my life were spent with you.
