Not sure what to say?

The Garofalo Family - So sorry to hear about Dickie's passing. So very nice of you to remember my Dad, Perry Cocchiarella. My Dad never forgot Dickie and missed him very much when he moved out here to NY. Dad passed away last March - and I know my Dad was there to welcome Dickie in heaven with open arms. Dickie was a very sweet soul.

The Garofalo Family. We are out of town, but we extend our sincere sympathy for your loss of Dickie. It was always good to see him with that big smile. We're sure he is still smiling down on his family and friends. He always spoke of his family and we're sure his family will miss him greatly. We will pray for him and the family. God Bless.

I am sure everyone has great memories of Uncle Dickie but I wanted to share one out of mine, I can still remember how excited he was each and everytime he use to get when he would show up at our sofball games. The smile on his face when all the guys would come up and give him a high five and thank him for showing up to watch his favorite "Local" team play ball. If all of us would just take a little piece of that joy he had in his...
