Patino Tony,

We will never forget what a loving, caring, generous, happy man you were. You always treated us and everyone with love and respect, it showed in the amount of people that came to your visitation and funeral. Thank you for all the beautiful and happy memories that we will cherish always. We are very proud to have had you as our Patino. I am so happy that we spent some time together at your 50th Anniversary and Patina's 70th. We love you very much and we will miss your smile and laugh. Watch over Patina Lina, the girls, and the family.

Zio, it's just so hard to believe that you are no longer here with us. You will definitely be missed - I was so fortunate and blessed to have you as not only as my Godfather, but also as my uncle, throughout my whole life. Thank you for everything you did for me and making every family event and times at the cottage always fun. I will never forget your contagious smile and laughter, and your love for life. Your greatest pleasure was having family and friends around you and ensuring we all had a good time. Those mememories will be treasured forever and we will definitely keep your memory alive. (I'll leave the scaring part to Franca, Rita, and Frankie) Your now with my dad, (your buddy) take care of each other, please give him a big hug and kiss from me! We will never forget what you both did for your families. Please watch over us and especially Zia Lina, Rita, Franca, Tina during this difficult time. Love you forever- your niece Elena

I wish I could be with you to share this pain with all of you. Unfortunately this has not been, but don't forget I'm always with you in my mind.
Our zio was wunderful and special, he was our joker, reveller, generous, enjoyed little simple things, sensitive,... In short, a good man and a real Rotilio!
I understand what you pass through, it hurts a lot, but I hope that your wound can heal soon...
A lot of strenght.
