Hello Jonnie
So very sorry to hear of your Dad’s Passing.
Don’t know whether or not you will remember me and my family from the 197O’s when we all met in the Grand & Royal Hotel in Viareggio in 1973 (you were younger than me and my sister Lynn and you used to slide down the bannister rail in the hotel all the time) and then my parents remained good friends with your Dad for a long time. He stayed at our house in Blackburn Lancashire UK around 1974 and 1979. Great times!
Do you...

Sirio was a dear friend of my Mother, my Sister and myself. We lived in a brownstone apt. bldg. next to his Studio in Omaha. I worked in his Studio for some time doing clerical work. He was a wonderful, caring individual and ALWAYS the gentleman. I was last in contact with him several years ago when I wrote to him in Chicago about his beautiful painting of Christ, for which copies of it were in newspapers around the U.S. I still have an original copy that I have carried with me, even to...

I met Sirio in 1956 in Lincoln, Nebraska when I was attending college in the Midwest. He took me on my first airplane ride in his plane. He was always such a gentleman. I have never forgotten him. May he Rest In Peace!
