Uncle Mio, you will be missed more than you could ever imagine! You loved everyone you met and everyone loved you right back. You were the first person to teach me how to shoot pool and I think of you every time I play no matter who I'm with or where I am. I know you are at peace now and with all our loved ones who have already passed. Love, Tanya Rogish (Richmond, Virginia)

Childhood memories at Uncle Me's, I can still remember eating the best ever polenta at your place, launching myself across the frozen pool from the slippery dip, dancing around the pool room and bar New Years Eve and eating white pizza for the first time. But the memory that sticks most in my mind was your smile and kind eyes. My thoughts are with your close family. May you rest in peace. Love, Nicole Hanmer (Alma Alaimo's eldest grand daughter, Sydney Australia)
