We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the Parisi Family and devoted friend and companion Constance. We've known Mr. Parisi for many years and have to say he was such a great man. Always kind to all he met and so active all his life. His smile certainly made others smile and he will certainly be missed. God saw him getting tired and we all know, God only takes the best. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Warm Regards and God Bless

To Steve Jr. and the entire Parisi Family:
I extend my deepest condolences of Steve Sr., a remarkable man and close friend of my own Dad. Dad and I had many conversations of his relationship with Steve and Dad would always have a twinkle in his eye when he spoke of his dear friend. They were War buddies and I know they are together in a place where we shall all see them again.
GodSpeed, Mr.Parisi.........may you rest in Eternal Happiness and Peace.
Warm Regards,
