To the Vitello family: I just read about Peter's passing. I am not only in shock, but deeply saddened. Dolly and Peter were one of the many families that made my job fun. On several occasions, they came to my rescue whether the use of a bathroom, a chat to uplift my spirits when MY dad was ill, or handy with a "bite" to eat when they saw how "frail?" I was getting. Even today, I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I travel in the neighborhood because of people like your parents. I tell everyone about his awesome Azealla bush, trimmed just perfect. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

We are all so lucky to have been in the presence of such a great and loving man. He made everyone feel important and always cared about how you were doing. We will miss him, but we know also that he will live on in all of us. Arrivederci in Italian means "we will see each other again", so arrivederci Papa!

To Laurie and Diane,so sorry for your loss. My most vivid memory of your Dad is at Ferrings Pond when we were all kids and he was being silly holding up a beach chair in one hand pretending he was a super strong man. He will be greatly missed. I'm glad I was able to see him those few times he was at South Shore Hosptial when I was working. Sincere condolences from Gsil(Zella)Lancaster and family
