Michael and Kelly I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was one of the most caring loving person.He never had a bad word to say about anyone. I remember when he was installing a new motor in in my furnace in the middle of winter. So concerned about no heat, he could not have been more caring. I loved your dad. My prayers and sympathy are with you and your family. He will never be forgotten.

Ang thank you for being such a great step father to me. You know there is always that one person in your lifetime that has said or taught you something that you will always remember and you are that person to me.whether it was about growing the trees you gave me or if it was work related, usually work. So as you leave us too soon your ideas, stories and life memories will always be within my heart. I am truly going to miss one of the best men that I was blessed to have shared in my life. Until we meet again my love will stay strong.

Thank you Dad for this life you have provided for me. You will always be in my heart and prayers. You are the greatest father a child could ever ask for and more. Through the last 42 years of my life you have taught me how to be the man, husband and father I am today. You have touched so many lives and will be missed by not only family and friends but by many HVAC professionals and former customers. I find peace knowing that in heaven you are surrounded by family and friends that you have been missing. In heaven you never looked better in your blue shirt with Angelo embroidered on the right and your left shirt pocket filled with all kinds of cool pocket tools. Your blue pants sporting a black belt w/tape measure, flashlight and a ton of keys hanging at your side. In heaven you have been reunited with your favorite service truck ( Toyota ) w/Mario sticker on the door, and in heaven you are doing what you loved working on heating systems. I love you Dad, I hope I gave you as much joy and happiness as you have given me.
Until we meet again!
