Not sure what to say?

Although it´s been three years since , I have just now read of Alfonso´s death in the Notre Dame High School in Memoriam. Alfonso and I were such good friends from the time we met in class at St. Paul´s School, all through high school and after. In senior year at Notre Dame, he was crowned king of the prom. He was one of the kindest, most compassionate, and intelligent friends, loved by everyone who met him. He will be sorely missed by all those whose path he crossed. I extend...

Thinking of you Cino. Your wonderful laugh, your intense sports playing and all. Rick Goeke Kingston Neighbor

To the entire Procaccini Family - I am heartbroken to learn today of Sino's passing. Sino and Italo were our neighbors and friends in Kingston for many years as our yard at 22 Laurel Avenue backed up to their house/yard on Union Street. They arrived in Kingston from Italy when Sino was 10 years old. My siblings (Dolly, Sissy and Mickey) have so many fond memories of growing up with both Sino and Italo. All of the kids in Kingston loved the Procaccini brothers and, of course, all the girls had...

Great memories of growing up playing basketball and football with Cino and Italo. I remember Cino dad walking up to the school field calling the boys for dinner, an hour later we are still playing. Cino lived 3 houses away from me. Many days going by seeing him at up stairs window studying. Those memories I will always cherish , great times.

I have many many great memories growing up with the Procaccini brothers, Ceno and Itlo (spelling) in Kingston, playing countless football and basketball games in the local park across from their home. Ceno was a mentor to me and very respected. I often mowed their mothers lawn ending in a nice glass of wine from their mother. Rick Goeke

I am married to Anthony Fiumenero (Tony), who grew up in the same neighborhood as Alfonso (Tony refers to Alfonso as "Cino"). Tony often mentions the Procaccini brothers, with fondness. They were a large part of his memories growing up in a small community. I lost my extraordinary father this year. I have found our digital frame photos of my father and deceased mother VERY helpful in dealing with their loss; I "see" them every day. Perhaps this may also help the Procaccini family deal...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.We enjoyed the happy times with you both at Vila Cantarella. Rich and Geri Nicoli

Dear Ariane and family: we met in his classes at Smith and later in Italy and for coffee and such. He was someone I thought of often. He made me a better person. A great loss....hugs Bill Cooley

Ariane, I am so sorry for your loss. I was privileged to know Alfonso , as a true gentleman, and tough basketball player. My sympathy goes out to you and your family.
