My childhood memories of Uncle Tony are with him grabbing me by my cheeks each time I visited him and Zia. Showing me the proper way to hold a knife to cut my food, and knowing how I truly appreciate Italian food and showing me different types of it.

As a young boy, Uncle Tony and Zia Rosaria were my second Mom and Dad. So many wonderful memories that even today are clear in my mind. Although the years have made our family grow apart, my love for them has never changed. My deepest condolences.
