Hey Mr. P.,
Im glad I got to see you one last time the week before. Through the 30+ years that I know you, you have always looked the same. I was certainly jealous of you hair, lol.
Rest in peace, you are in a better place now watching over your family.

Hey Pop,
I have lots to say. First one of my best memories of you is when you would drive me to pre-school everyday. And, we would talk and laugh and have a competition to see who finds the school first. Also when we got home and you would babysit us and play games around the house that was fun!It was always fun going to your house visiting you throughout the years. Finally in 2012 we tuffed it out through Hurricane Sandy together and you were fine through it all. no matter what happened whatever mom and dad said you did it without complaint. You were always like that, I guess it came from the army haha! And, you made it one more year into 2013 from when I was born to now you were always there for me. Your the best grandpa anyone could have!! :) I will never forget you!

To pop,
I remember when pop use to come every Monday and Friday to get me on the bus to school and he always called up the stairs saying "im here." Also he would buy me candy everyday when I came home from kindergarten and he would put my cartoons on the tv every single day, but there was one thing he never let me do is touch his hair, he didnt want it to get messed up and I always tried to touch it when he falls asleep with his head down. nice hair pop nice and white!!
Love;
Gianna xo

Dear Pop,
I remember going to your house every morning so you could drive me to preschool, you used to massage my feet while we were watching TV. Then on the way to preschool we would have a race to see who could see the peak of the church roof first above all the other buildings. I also remember you came over for a holiday and we started riding on your back like a horse and you would chase us around. We had
good times,I'm going to miss you Pop
RIP
Love you,
From Weston

Hey Pop , we'll ALL miss you! I remember meeting you more than 20 years ago on Dellmuth Ave.Gail said don't mind my father he sometimes just speaks his mind. I knew right then that I'd like you.A few years later I asked for your permission to marry Gail - you said, what took you so long!Over the years we spent time together , you helped w/ the kids , here for every holiday.In the end you toughed it out with us through Hurricane Sandy - wasn't easy for any of us but we did the best we could.You'll be missed & God bless you !!

Here is a man, I used to know, over 30 years and I still have to grow!
Always enjoyed to see him smile
when I gave him his pick-its,
It was worth my while!
Didn't mind getting his paper
but always said
"not THE STAR LEDGER"
Over the years he had his doubt,
in the end he gave me a prize,
to take care of his youngest child!
Love You Mr.P
I will miss you!
Your Son in-law Joseph Policastro

When we lose someone we love,
We learn to trust somehow
That a new life in a brighter place
Is just beginning now..
A place of grace and peace and joy
Beyond all time and sorrow,
Where loving hearts who part today
Will meet again tomorrow.
RIP Uncle Kenny Love Doug, Lynne & Courtney
