Grandfather was a man with true class and dignity. He will be surely missed. However now he can finally be with his son, my father. We will see them both again and they will welcome us with loving arms....

My Grandfather was an extraordinary man! He would have been 100 years old Christmas Day, 2008. My father, James Vincent Madda, Grandpa's son, passed away in August of 2002. Grandpa became a father figure to me. I will miss taking him to lunch at his favorite Evanston restaurant, Davis Street Fish Market, for his love of "crab cakes."
Grandpa had an extremely sharp wit and a charming personality. He was a Northwestern Graduate and a Colonel in World War II, while practicing Dentistry, sharing many unique stories. I feel honored to have received his veteran's flag.
I love and will miss you Grandpa! Many Blessings xoxo
