To Uncle Vito,
I always loved the times we had together. Most all of them were on outdoor excursions, fishing and hunting. Mix in a few family parties. But I will always remember the times we had outdoors. You always brought a special something to every trip! I am sorry that as children we always mimicked you Italian accent...but we loved it! Your cooking was second to none.....and as I became of age, your wine was like none other!! You will be missed by eveyone you have touched in your life. I am very sad as I write this but happy in my memories....
To Florio Family
I am very sorry about hearing about the passing Uncle Vito.....He was a great guy! I have attached one of my favorite photos from one of our trips to Rainy Lake fishing. I think it says everything that I just mentioned above.......

Brotherly Love, a strong bond that will never break.

To Aunt Beverly and entire Florio Family,

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for the lose of such a wonderful person. I had so much fun as I child and I have so many fond memories of Uncle Vito and ALL of you. I know how hard these days were for you and how hard they will be, but, trust me, in time the hurt will leave but the memories will remain. The memories will lift you up when your feeling down and the best part is that they are always there, in your heart!
I have attached this picture, my Dad loved his Brother VERY MUCH and I know misses him terribly, they were bonded by a strong Love even though they did not say it, their generation did not say they words like we do.
Know that I am here for ALL of you, say the word and I will be there.
I love you ALL!

And even though you aren't here with us in person, we all know you're watching from above. We all miss you, very much. I will love you always.

My deepest sympathy to the Florio family. I've gotten to know Vito for the last three years and never was there a time without us reminiscing, laughing and always catching Bev's smile as he talked about their life together. They had a beautiful love story. I and many others will truly miss, as I knew him, a gentle man. My prayers have been and will be for Vito and his family.

Dear Vito,

You will be greatly missed! I am so glad that I got to meet you and you family. I wished it could have been longer. In the year and a half that I have know you there are many stories from the greens and olive oil to your wheel chair stuck in the ant farm. I glad I got to spend time with you and Bev last week to get a big smile from you both from my elves outfit, my gift to you both of the Kissing Penquins and watching the snow falling so peacefully.
You were a great man, loving husband and father your family is proof. You always had a great sense of humor and love. Rest in peace Vito. My prayers are with the family. Joanne
