Our hearts go out to Ray and the kids. This has been an unkind year to you. (Lorenzo is the neighbor, and I am the girlfriend.)
I wanted to share with you my memories of Enrico. He was so talkative and so friendly. He and Lorenzo were always talking. When Lorenzo--I call him Lance--first told me about Enrico, when Lance bought the house next door, he told me Oh My God, he's my grandfather.
Lance's grandfather was also from Italy, also gardened, also made wine.
I have so many memories of Enrico bringing us fruit, tomatoes, mostly. And a couple years ago he showed us those giant squash and told us about a recipe his wife used to make.
He was mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges, growing a garden ALL THE TIME I KNEW HIM. And when he stopped, he stopped.
He had a wonderful family, I can only imagine the joy that having his kid and grandkids living there must have been.
We remember him smacking bees because one of his grandkids, I think the youngest, was allergic.
I remember his passion for his yard, and his garden and his family.
He was 91, he had a good life, but I am still a little heartbroken.
