I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom on December 1, 2010. So, I know what you are going through. I got to know your dad through Holiday Jewelers. He used to do watch repair for me. It would never fail when I came in that I wouldn't ask how you were doing. He would always give me an update. Then, the conversation would turn to the Italian American Society and we would give each other updates on those members. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Shelby; I loved working on the RR with Mike. We had many good times working Engine relief with Lou Wakeman. I will always remember whenever I would see him and ask him how he was doing and he would always say "About 50 Percent". He was always very generous to me and my family. ...Wayne Mitchell

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Carito family. Shelby, you have been Mike's angel here on this earth. I will forever miss looking over and seeing Mike working around the yard with his infamous cigar,receiving his teasing comments, and witnessing the love he showed his pets. Mike had a wonderful, kind and gentle heart....not only did he show us how to live, but how to die with grace and dignity. May the family find peace in knowing he is in a much better place now....God Speed Mike!
