I just heard about Tag's loss from my parents Helen & Ed Hinchey. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Vitagliano family. Growing up with Doris made Tag seem like the big brother I never had. He was always playing jokes and could make me laugh, even when I felt the worst. I know that he was an awesome husband, brother, Dad and granddad, who touched the lives of everyone that knew him. No doubt that he is riding his Harley in heaven & looking over all of you with love.

Dear Kathy and Family,

I am so sorry about Tag. He was the heartbeat of the street and was actually the best thing on here. It was always nice to stop and chat with him as he was cleaning or working on his bike. He made the neighborhood pleasant and welcoming. When I first moved here, I was awoken by his zooming by my house on his bike. Four o'clock in the morning but that was Tag and I loved that about him. He just loved life. I will be praying for you and will really miss him. The world and the street have lost a great man. It's not the same already.

Dearest Kathy and family,
Words of sympathy are never enough to heal the sorrow of his passing. He was a great husband, father and Papa and for those of us not related a really fun person to have as a friend. May the Lord help and guide you thru the days ahead. God Bless.

I don't even know where to start...please remember all the the wonderful and crazy things about Michael. I pierced his ear with the pink daisy stud soooo long ago and he wore it proudly. I can say with pride that he was my friend for almost 50 years and I will miss him. Please let all the wonderful memories help you through this time of sorrow. He is now our Angel looking over us.
