To The Falaschetti Family:

I was sad to read about the passing away of Yondro. Yondro was my cousin (My Mothers maiden name was Falaschetti). We were always close, but became very close when I moved back to Chicago Heights in 1982. Yondro was a Boardd Membr of the School District 170 Board of Education. He was dedicated to the students and staff members of the school district. I was the Superintendent of the school district at that time and he would always share with me his strong desire to provide the very best education for our students in the district. Working with Yondro and Reno Rosati, who were members of the school board was a wonderful time in my professional career. I was fortunate to be associated with a caring sincere Board of Education in School District 170. As my close friend, we shared trips to Italy and Arizona. I have fond memories from those days. We had fun and laughed a lot. Yondro was loved by many because of his warm personality and sincere friendship. God Bless you Yondro, your family that has gone before you and your family that is still with us.
