Mrs. DiMascolo, Michael, Bryan and Family:
Nancy and I offer our most sincere condolences in Hugo's passing.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Hugo for decades. He lived opposite the Voccola Building on Reservoir Avenue and my Dad introduced us when I was a child.
Hugo took care of everyone's office equipment. He showed me the very first IBM Selectric typewriter and I was amazed.
When computers entered the era and typewriters faded away, Hugo was sharp enough to avoid computers and went instead to printeres and cartridges "You buy a computer every 5-10 years, but you need printers and toner all the time". Smart man.
I always enjoyed speaking with him when he visited our offices. He always treated me with respect and I always supported his business and still do to this day.
I'll never forget his Pork Pie hat and clentched cigar.
I was traveleing during his services and apologize for not attending.
We hope your pleasant memories provide the comfort you need at this time.
God bless Hugo.

Dear Mike, Sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I can remember over 30 yrs ago when my dad would send me down to the shop to get his Smith Corona fixed. Those were the good old days. Your dad was a strong guy. He outlived my own dad. I have fond memories. I hope your own memories are a comfort to you now.
God Bless,
