Many years ago I was friends with Mr. Aiello’s son, Jaime during the 80s dance club scene. I went to pick him up from the families home and was invited in by Mr Aiello, he was a genuine guy, asked me into the family home and invited me into their TV room to watch sports while I waited for Jaime. Very sincere down to earth gentleman who was the ultimate host. Typical father, when his son appeared in the room he immediately critiqued his attire, lol.

Mr Aiello was a total gentleman. He and my father were good friends for at least 50 years. When my dad passed away Mr. Aiello provided great comfort to my mother and me. He did and said all the right things to help us through a very difficult time. It was my honor and privilege to know Mr. Aiello.
I would like to extend my deepest condolences to his family. He was a good hearted man who will be sorely missed.
God rest his sole. Peter DiNardo III
