Not sure what to say?

My Uncle and Godfather, you will never be forgotten by anyone whose life you touched. You and Aunt Mickey were so wonderful to us and you always, ALWAYS made us laugh. The only consolation in losing you is that you and "Aunt Mouse" are reunited in Heaven.

I remember growing up in Amsterdam with you and Aunt Mickey. How I loved all the Zegarellis. You are now in the presence of God and all the good ones who went before you...especially Mickey & my mom. I know you and my mom are raising....up there...telling jokes etc. You were a light in my world growing up and I know you are shining in Heaven. Love you. Laurie Gaetano Valleriani

It's been many years, but I remember you so well - You will be dancing with my mom & telling jokes in heaven - I think the two of you will be thrown out if you don't behave. Have so many good memories! The angels will be blessed to have you up there!

You were the best. Treated us wonderful. always took care of us. You will be missed and loved forever. tell aunt mickey we love her too when you get to heaven. God rest your soul.

I remember as a young girl going to Uncle Tony's to eat the best pizza ever made. Ziggy's I remember going in the kitchen and watching Uncle Tony literally tossing the dough in the air. The pizza he was making for us to eat. I will never forget that as a child. And of course eating it. He was a true Italian. He was kind,giving and very considerate. And his famous sweet words will not be forgotten, Ya look lovely... I will miss you Uncle Tony. RIP XOXOXO

I love you Uncle Tony you will be missed RIP.

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of grief...Psalm 46:1...God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during difficult times...May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.
