I had many a good night chatting with Restel in our favorite watering hole, but my best memories of him will always be set at the Piccolo Restaurant, where I would take family and my girlfriend, and Restel would come by and play my favorite songs on the violin - Dr. Zhivago and Puccini - serenading us with a twinkle in his eye and with his beautiful playing. He always made me feel special. I'll miss him.

May his memory be a blessing.
Our friendship spans many a year from the days of Pittsburgh Youth Symphony. His smile and fun-loving nature always warmed my heart. Sherry Kloss

Restel was my first violin teacher at CHAW when I was 8 or 9 years old. He was always patient and encouraging, even when I didn't practice (which was often). He loved the violin, and used to make me laugh by playing "the mosquito song". I will always remember his sense of humor and his dedication to the children at CHAW, and I will think of him every time I hear "lightly row".

To the family... please know you will be in our thoughts and prayers!
