I worked in the Pizza Fritte booth with Ronnie at the St. Anthony's bazaars...what fun he was! And I'll never forget when he showed up at my door, on my birthday, to fix my hot water heater and didn't charge me a cent! A great guy...I'm sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace Ron. I'll always remember the years we spent together at Sam's and Gulka's back in the 50's. You laughed and smiled constantly and always had a positive outlook. You
were a great friend.

Rest in Peace Ronnie. You're one of the ducks that the hunters didn't get. So many fond memories of you and laughter we shared especially at the cozy corner. Yor always had a smile on your face and a funny story to tell. I'm sure the Angels are already giggling.

So sorry to read of Mr. Pariso's passing. He was our plummer for years whom I trusted to always do excellent work at a fair price. Years later our son became his grandson's, Joe's, good friend - small world. He always had a smile and a story to tell when he came to the house. Our thoughts are with you all . May your memories replace your present sorrow.
