We will never forget Alessandro when we came to Neighbourhood Pharmacy and asked if he could get us some Anisette to make some Biscotti.He was our pharmacist for many years and my wife brought him some of the finished product to taste. He was a kind and loving person and we are so sorry that the cancer got the better of him. Our sincere condolences to all the family. Unfortunately because we were away, we could not make the funeral

Sincerely Victor & Rita Oreskovich

Alessandro was my pharmacist for many years. I
always appreciated his special service, I knew he cared about each customer. We shared about our children and the way he talked about them you could tell how much he loved them. Such a pity he passed on to eternity so young. "Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. Anne Fox

A person would have to search the world far and wide to find another man as honest and as caring as Alessandro - we knew him as Al and he was honestly one of the kindest men we've ever known. We will miss seeing him and his cheery smile and his interest in our lives, even though he was fighting the hardest battle of his life- Keep his memory alive by talking about him and sharing memories with all who loved him-heaven has gotten another angel and his family has gotten a guardian. We will keep the Cipriano family in our hearts and in our thoughts as they learn to live without this very special person. With our love Don and Bette Nunnenmacher

My deepest sympathy to Sandro's family. I worked at the clinic on Lake Street for many years and got to know Sandro quite well. He was such a warm, kind man with a wonderful sense of humour. Have many fond memories of his smile; he often made a big difference in my day with his dry wit and helpful ways. So sad that the world has lost such a good man.
