Not sure what to say?

May he be an example to all of us-- live your life. I love you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful father. He was always there for me! His fun-loving, can-do attitude was an inspiration to all of the family, and his sense of humor was legendary. Wow, could he make you laugh and laugh!!! And he had so many interests - whenever I came home for a visit I'd stay up half the night talking to Dad about politics, sports, music and life in general. I will miss those conversations as I will miss him, terribly! I'm glad my son bears some resemblance to...

Dear Grandad:

You struck a tremendous balance in life, one that few can. You were always the life of the party, a charming, singing, fun-loving man who everyone wanted to be around.

My mother and I remember so many happy times at Shallowbrook Stables- the Jump Team, the parties, the fun we had on horses as well as falling off! Our thoughts are with you.

My grandfather truly was a remarkable man. Our family gatherings will not be the same without him. I think that I will miss his wonderful singing voice the most! I only wish he could have met his great grandson, due in December, but I have plenty of fond memories to share with him. My grandfather had a way of making each us feel special. I'm proud to be his granddaughter, and thank god for the time I had with him. I love you Grand-daddy.

To the family of Dr. Tarozzi:

I was sorry to read of Dr. Tarozzi's passing. Prior to moving to Rhode Island, I was a patient of Dr. Tarozzi's. - I remember his humor (and singing) during my visits. Going to the dentist was always fun!

Surely, he will be missed.
