From the Fedetski Family to the Mora Family; Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Mariano. It was an honor to learn about the full and meaningful life he lived, marked by determination and many accomplishments. Though we only had the privilege of knowing Mariano for a short time, his kindness left a lasting impression. We will deeply miss seeing him at the window, always ready with a warm wave as we passed by. May his memory and legacy live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

From the Kwidzinski family to the Mora family, we would like to send our deepest condolences. Babe was a wonderful, caring and giving person and I'll never forget all the times he helped our family. He always treated our brother Dennis like a son and thank you for that. May you rest in peace and have eternal life my friend.

I can't imagine being 14 and working on the Great Lakes as a coal passer on a freighter... the cool thing is one can google the ships and see pics of these ships dad sailed on

My deepest sympathy to Babe´s family. He truly was a sweet gentleman, and I enjoyed the many times we were able to meet, especially along with my brother, Jim, who was his lifelong friend. No doubt, they´ll be talking baseball now and still arguing over politics. The loss of a good man, Babe!

.... Thank you** for all the sacrifices you made to make my life better... .... Thank you** for all the times you did without, so I would not... .... Thank you** for all the times you picked me up when I had fallen... .... Thank you** for all the good times and all the great memories... Love Riccardo
