Dear Celebrezzes,
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Celebrezze. I have found memories of him and your family from when I was growing up. Our families became friends in Brook Park when James, Jr. and I went to safety town together. Our families had "matching" children--boy/girl/boy--so we each had a playmate.

I can only assume he was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, because he was a great Uncle and Godfather to me. You are in my prayers.

Those we love are always with us. Their laughter, their wisdom and their thoughtfulness are gifts of love that are ours to keep. He was such a proud grandfather of all his grandkids and grandpets. With our deepest sympathy and love - John, Suzy & Sam Uvena
