I will always remember Mr Bonitati, who many referred to as "grandpa". He would always acknowledge with a wave of the hand and a smile. He would swing by the activity dept to grab a handful of candy and read the morning newspaper. He will definately be missed. And to Mrs. Bonitati, although he didn't say much, he loved you from the bottom of his heart. My condolences to the Bonitati family.
