Aunt Virg and Uncle Bill were two of the most genuine, kindhearted people to ever walk this Earth. They will forever be remembered. During their active years their home was always a place of hospitality, filled with love, beaming with hugs and kisses and open-armed good old fashion Italian food & celebration. My heart goes out to all whose lives they touched. In loving memory and with love to my cousins and family.

Virg & Bill - Two more generous, gracious, loving, & kind-hearted people can not be found on this earth. Devoted parents, dedicated grandparents, always fun, always funny. What a joy to know and spend time with them. And leaving together? How beautiful is that? To the Pacelli, Lato, and Rich Bradley families - my thoughts & prayers are with you all as you say good-bye to two fabulous folks. Love,

Uncle Bill & Aunt Virg were a part of our lives from the moment we were born. They were our second set of parents, sharing in birthdays, holidays, Communions, graduations, weddings and of course the sad times. Uncle Bill always could make you laugh, and he loved telling a good story and was always ready to play the ponies. Aunt Virg loved to shop. If the truth be told, she returned more than she kept! She loved to play cards and was always ready for a hand of gin rummy or may I. No two people were loved by there family and friends and their loss will be felt for years to come.
In loving memory, you nephews & nieces, Bob, Len, Laura, & Vera Tumbarello
