Dear Chubby,
I remember you for my whole life. And I love you dearly. You represent the best of the Amato family, you get that from your mother Silvia, sisters Mimi, Joanny and Judy and your brothers Sammy and Louis who all always did the best that they could for everyone that they knew. This also came from your father, Constantine who unfortuneately passed too early in his life. You will also be remembered by all the students that you taught and by all those you encountered as a police officer. You have led a great life, always doing what your family showed you and your Grandfather Saverio which translates in Salvatore, your name, who came to the United States to start a new life and a large family, among who was my mother Angelina, your mother Silvia's sister. I was lucky to see you early this year when you were at Montowese, and I had high hopes for you. One thing about you was the positive attitude that you maintained even at this point and everyone you knew felt this hope that you have always had and they benefitted from it. Bless you for always thinking of others before yourself.
