Mr Castelli was a client of ours and was always courteous and had kind words for me whenever he would visit our office. He would always ask about how my son was doing on his football team and always had words of encouragement. His kindness will be greatly missed.

Peter & Family, I am so so sorry to hear about your dad. I found out late today about his service. I will miss him so much. He would always wave at me from the mail box or walking around the yard. I can't stop looking for him while I am stopped at the stop sign. I had to look to my left to see if he was coming out of the drive way with his car. He didn't always see me (ha,ha). Love you guys! P.S. I love to see you guys in the backyard. You are always welcome!

It is with bitter sweetness that I leave this message. After knowing Mr. Castelli as a next door neighbor for so many years, it's difficult to imagine not seeing him walking around the yard, inspecting his manicured landscape. He was a constant for me even when I traveled around the world. Once home, I knew he would always be right there. But, I celebrate with Peter and the family a life well lived. I'm glad to have known Mr. Castelli and cherish his memory forever.
Blessings
