Francis, Michael and Families:
My sympathies on the loss of your Father, grandfather...I have so many memories growing up on Darling/River Streets, however one of my most cherish is knowing Mr. Spagnuolo and his family. He/they treated me as a son and a family member when I needed it the most...Always there when needed, I never had to look too far for guidance or help. Francis and I have been "blood" brothers for over "60" years and we have always been there for each other!! Say "Hello" to Mrs. Spagnuolo and tell her that I miss and love her... Grandma Sozzi and Elaine as well!! I will keep his memory in my thoughts and prayers. GODSPEED,
Mr. Mayor, my Darling Street Dad!! May your soul rest in peace!
