I remember when we went to Eel River and Uncle NoNo jumped off the big rock and almost hit me, it was kind of funny but now that he is gone it seems like there is nothing to laugh about anymore. I will always have my memories of my uncle to make me laugh and I will miss him very much.

Uncle Nono, im so sad that you cant be here with us. I miss you so much. When i think of the sound of your voice it makes me think of all the good times that we've had when you came down to see us. I just want to let you know that I love you and you give me the focus I need to play friday nights.

What can I say about my big sexy? Noland - I loved him like a brother. He brought so many people into my life that I now have the priviledge and honor to call my friends. NoNo was a wonderful man with such a big heart. He laughed like what you said was the funniest thing he ever heard and had a smile that would light up the room. I miss my friend. Rest in peace ya big sexy - I love you.

What can you really say about NoNo that hasnt already been said. He was a wonderful person, there was none better in our opinion. We feel very lucky to have known him, and honored to be able to call him a friend. We will miss the BBQ's, the slaps on the behind, and the million dollar smile. We love you with all our hearts brother, and we will never forget the Joy and Love you brought to our family.

No No will be greatly missed. He was a warm and gentle sole. His laughter would light up a room. He was great to our boys Brandon and Tony Jr. He would call them his little dawgs. We miss you and love you.

We will never forget you, No No. I did not know you very well. But you made an awesome impression on my 6year old son Michael and my 8 year old daughter Christa. And they only had the honor of seeing you 2 times. They loved your laugh. You will be missed.

When my mom called me with the news, I went into shock. I can't imagine why something so bad could happen to such a nice person. No No was a big loveable bear. Whenever I was around him, he'd always look out for me. One of my funniest memories was when I went to fall into a big muddy puddle and he came out of no where and caught me mid air. I would have been laying in a foot deep of muddy water if it weren't for his catch. To his family and his numerous loved ones, my heart goes out to you. And No No, keep laughing. We'll see you when we get there.

NO NO
Open the memory box in your mind. Find a jolly laugh it comes with a smile.
Can you see two smiling eyes looking back at you.
Its "NO NO" can you hear him say to you.
Remeber me with a big smile.

I ran a couple of night clubs in Ukiah...No No would come in with his football buddies...and have a great time..No No would never let his crew get out of hand..and they never did...we even invented drinks just for him...and those of you who have had a drink with him know how much fun he was...The last time I saw No No was at monday night football...and he gave me a big "Guy Hug" every time I ran into him he would hug me...I sure am going to miss that big guy...and his big Heart......

The thing that I will always remember about No-no was his laugh, when No-no laughed you knew he was in the building. He was always laughing and always in a good mood. There's not another person in this world like him, he was truly one in a million. From the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul you will forever be missed.

NoNo and I would always look back and laugh at me actually beating him in a drinking contest, but I did it. He will always remain a part of me and I can only pray that he had the best time here on earth. One of the biggest hearts and he always made everyone around him laugh and feel good. I will miss you my friend.

NoNo was such a great person, words can't describe what he meant to me. Every time I would come to visit,he was right there. I'm going to miss the 4-5 in the morning phone calls he would make when he would be out. I'm going to be thinking about him every time I watch a Raiders game. If anyone knew him, they know he loved his Raiders!! NoNo will be thought about every day! I loved him more than anything. He will be greatly missed!!!! I wish I could be there!

Me and my family have been truly blessed to have known "No No". I surely miss his big hearty laugh. Everyone always knew when he was around and we could hear that laugh without even seeing him. There was a customer at Shodakai that once said, "Boy, he must have been tickled alot when he was a baby." I'm sure he was. I'll have that laugh and his smile and "wassup" always etched in my memory. See you some day "Sugarbear".
Love,
Michelle Lozinto
