Lucio Pietrantonio

I met Lucio at Citibank around 1984. We remained friends ever since. He was as decent a human being as I have ever known. In recent years, I occasionally drove to Maplewood, where he lived, and we ate lunch at the restaurant, Cornbread. His favorite novel was, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, by Carson McCullers, and I understood why. He is in heaven now and rejoined with his mother and father. May God bless his soul.

He came by my cubicle at Citibank in early 1984 and started talking. He liked the fat cat stories from some tabloid newspaper. We knew each other ever since that winter 40 years ago. God Bless you Lucio!
