Papa will surely be missed. He taught me the rewards of hard work and what it is to be a generous and thoughtful man. I will never forgot his stories about living through the Great Depression. He had a way about him that was uniquely his own and I was so lucky to have him as my grandfather. Thanks for all you did for our family Papa. Love you. Stevie OXO

Mike, Ray, Gerard, Nancy and your families. Dino is with my brother Joe (his good buddy) in heaven. Three of a kind would not beat that pair. Our families were very close, from way back when. Sam loved telling Dino jokes...every time we ran into him. His laughter was funnier than the jokes. We are really going to miss him. Peace be with him and, also, with you and your families. So sorry...Love, love

Mike, Ray and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your loving dad. My condolences to you all. I can remember as a kid, Dino coming over our house with Pat Volo and my Uncle Nick Tusia all would hang around together for hours after work at each others house. I think they all worked for the city back then. We always got a charge out of your dad. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and remember him. God Bless you all and Take care...

My Dad, what a tremendous hole will be left in my life. I can only try to fill it with memories we've shared, trips to Yankee games, rides to Vermont, and times at the casino. You had a giant heart and will not be forgotten.
I Love You, Gerard
