Grandpa,
I'm going to miss you so much! You were a wonderful grandfather. I have so many good memories...going to the Italian Village to eat on my birthday is just one of many! You couldn't believe that I would eat tripe and clams with you at just 6 years old! I am sad to see you go, but I am happy that you will finally get a chance to rest and be with my father and Aunt Susan again. I love you and you will always be in my heart.

To the Pinelli family
I had the opportunity to work for the family at the stand at the erie county fair, I only worked one summer , but it was a great fair,I would only eat at Pinelli's when I wou;ld go after that summer. Mr. Pinelli made a lasting impression for his dedication and passionate businees sense, a stern but teddybear deep down. May you find peace and comfort during this time.
