Brunella and family! I dearly loved Ditti. He will be missed.
Yes, he was the most kind and sweet man. He always made "you" (not him) the most important one around. He will be deeply missed. your friend, Betty Morgan

I shall always remember Carl with love and admiration. My engagement ring was purchased from Conti Jewelers in 1959. Carl was "One in A Million". He always cared for every person as special. He is constructing jewels for the Crown of the Lord. Blessings to everyone who loves him.
