Our heartfelt condolences to Armando's family. Over the years we got to know a most wonderful man. His handshake was like a vise, and as firm and resolute as his kindness and warmth. We often sat together at the Hunters feast each year at Club Roma. We shared good food and good company. There was always plenty of laughs and good stories at the table. The evening will never quite be the same without Armando's presence. Rest now in peace, forever in the grace of God. Your friends, Gino Di Carlo, Pasquale Di Carlo, Tony Di Carlo, Mark Di Carlo, Tony Pietrangelo and Paul Cianflone.

Oh Dad...How we miss you already!
Armando was in a word... beautiful.
His radiant smile would light up a room as he engulfed you in his big bear hug! He was my beloved father in law and friend.
My mind is flooded with memories of walking and inspecting his magnificent garden. His garden was the delight of his soul. He would beam as he showed you each plant and eventually he even allowed me to pick the fruits of his plants. A honor that had to be earned after many years of coaching. The joy he felt as he feed you from the the vegatables and fruits he had
grown by the metalicious loving care of his two hands. Sharing his garden was the pride and joy of his life. His table was set with the bounty he had created. What a privilege it was to feast upon the harvest he so loving nurtured from seed.
His endless stories of the simple but difficult life in Italy never grew old. The stories were filled with life lessons and untold treasures if you had the heart to receive. He was so talented in many ways. He knew how to do or fix just about anything and was always delighted to share his knowledge. He knew the proper way things should be done. And if you listened he could spare you a world of complications. His advise was invaluable. His hands bore the scars of his brick laying profession. He was a expert that built sturdy homes and commercial property that are a testament to his diligence and artistry. He was a hard working man that provided for his family. His work ethic was a role model for my husband. A tradition of responsiblty Joseph
carried on till the day he died.
He was a loving husband and father. He was one to be depended upon. His devotion to Mom was a shining example to all of us and a perfect picture of enduring love.
He loved his Mother and would speak of her often. Her perfect posture and silk worm business was a source of sheer pride.
His love of hunting and travel adventures were stories that filled the room with laughter.
He loved his Club Roma. Organizing those big dinner dances was something he worked very hard on. Joseph and I attended them over the years and we enjoyed every second. His friends at the club meant the world to him.
Family and friends, friends and family gathered at his table was his greatest delight. Oh how we all fought over the special stuffing packed into the Christmas turkey.
I can still hear Mom and Dad fussing over the last minute details of those unforgettable celebrations.
He was a trusted confidant that could bear the troubles in your heart. He was always ready to offer you his wisdom if asked.
His wisdom was always shared cautiously as he never interfered.
It was amazing just how many times his advise would be exactly what you needed to hear at the time to see you through. I will be eternally greatful that his big shoulders were always available to me. I could tell him anything and he was always willing to listen. What an extraordinary gift to be given...to have that listening heart ready to share your troubles or Joy's. Thank you Dad.
His contagious laughter would brighten your day making the seeming complexities of life disappear.
He was my Dad and over the years became my beloved friend. I cherished our relationship.
When we lost Joseph I knew that his heart was the one who could truly understand the depth of sorrow and loss that I felt. Without a word being said we knew how we felt and our hearts understood. Our relationship over the years was built on love and trust. Our shared loss broke our hearts. Quietly and painfully we suffered together the loss of a piece of us that absolutely nothing could ever replace nor would anything ever be the same again.
DAD will be missed more than my simple words have the capacity to express.
I had the privileage and honor to be called his daughter. He loved me dearly and I adored him.
Dad thank you for always being there for Joseph and I.
I know Armando is walking through the eternal garden of God.
I have no doubt that he is overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of its beauty. I have no doubt that Mom and Joseph were there to greet him as he entered eternity.
So Dad, as you always said when ending a phone call...
Bye bye for now.
I love you Dad. My heart is overwhelmed with sorrow and grief. But my heart is also filled to overflowing with gratitude that you were in my life for so many wonderful and blessed years.
God bless all of you who are mourning the loss of our beloved Father.
We feel your love and prayers. They are giving us the strength and courage to face this life without Dad.
God bless you.

I am so sorry to hear about Armando passing. Since we cannot pay our respects in person I am sending my sincerest and heartfelt condolences to Mario and all the family.
I have known Armando since the early seventies and he was a wonderful man, super. My brothers and I saw Armando often through work and Club Roma, he was a pleasure to be around. After my brothers moved back to Italy, he was always so kind to ask how they were doing each time we saw each other. Such a nice, nice man who will be sadly missed.
