Not sure what to say?

Dad I miss you so much. Even though we didn't tell each other that we loved each other very much, I know you did and you know I loved you so much. I remember you playing baseball with me in Abbey Court every spare moment you had. And how you made me the athlete that I was. You got the most out of me dad. I was thinking about how you use to take me to McDonalds and we would hardly talk to each other but we knew our love was there. How we watched the Yankees & the Knicks in the basement like it...

Dear Jessie, Michael and Susan,
So sorry to hear this news. Scotty was a dear friend treasured by our whole family and a special friend to my parents. I always enjoyed his great stories and remember fondly the old days.

Always a perfect gentleman. Although I wasn't a Barber, I was a retailer; many ideas were shared by him. An example...how to make a razor blade last and last.
God knows when to call us; he's surely with Him now.
His son 'Mike'did a grand job of filling his shoes...he was so proud of him. He will R.I.P.

Dear Jessie,Michael& Susan

What a pleasure to have known "Scotty". Remember most his stories, how he professed his love of his heritage, the town he toiled in, but most of all his love of family. Our thoughts and prayers are for Scotty and his beloved family

I'll never forget sitting in Scotty's chair as a young boy and listening to his stories.
As the years went on and Michael and I purchased our motorcycles, I think we provided him with some topics for discussion and maybe a few gray hairs.
Scotty was a wonderful man and will be missed by many.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sicerely,

Patrick Toomey

Dear Jessie, Susan, and Michael,

I too remember Scotty as a man who was always so warm and friendly whenever I saw him. He and my Dad shared some special memories from when your Dad first came to the U.S. and they had a special bond because they were both barbers. Our families were also tied together through the friendship Nena and Susan had over the years and I always enjoyed seeing Michael. I am so gald we got to see some of you a few years back in Great Barrington, share a hug...

My fondest memory will be the day that Scotty and I took a walk while we were at Debbie and Michael's house for Easter a few years back..He conveyed some personal thoughts and feelings that I don't think were ever said to anyone else..My daughter could not have asked for a more wonderful mother and father-in-law.I know he will be looking down on our granddaughter Jaedra as well as all the rest of his family..I'm sure he is cutting hair or trimming halo's as the case may be..

Aunt Jessie,Susan, Michael,
How long has it been? I had thought Uncle Carlo would be there forever. I remember him at Cheryl's wedding. He was smiling next to Aunt Jessie, I was so happy he came with Aunt Iris and Cousin Charles. You have all been so kind to me over the years, I can never let you know how much he meant to me. When I was away from home at 19. Who did I call? Uncle Carlo and Aunt Jessie. I hope he realizes how much he is missed, he is with our heavenly Father now and at...
