I just found out today I am in tears the man was so good to me nobody will ever know Took me on trips as a kid got me a job as a union bartender as a man it was always there when I needed him And my mother always offered his home and his car at a free flight to come see him The last time I spoke to them he was so proud of his little girl you have no idea The last time we talked he had his feet in the waterfall we laughed about old times I truly thought I had all the time in the world to talk to him because the original Carlo Tarantino was 99 I know he's in heaven but it make me feel no better today I miss you CT
He will always be with me in my memories and they are all good he called me his favorite cousin To my family I'm sorry for the loss

My deepest sympathy goes out to Carlo's family who he loved dearly. Carlo was always positive and up beat even to the last day that I talked to him at 11:00 am September 1, 2018. I will miss talking to Carlo (about the old days) and hearing many of his great stories! Carlo was a great caring and giving person that always had a smile. There are no words that can describe Carlo's love for his daughter Amy and his familia. God Bless Carlo Tarantino ❤

Our prayers and deepest condolences for the family of Mr Tarantino. He would always correct me for calling him Mr Tarantino:) He was a very kind and thoughtful man. Always would bring in fruits and snacks as a sign of appreciation for his Dialysis Techs and Nurses. A man full of laughter and joy in his heart. A man full of stories of making an impact to others as well exhibiting compassion for others in his words and action. He will be dearly missed.

Were do I begin ,my companion, my best friend, my brother. I will miss all the things we did together. You and your family were a big part of my life. From the moment I first meet you at Isends drug store we we we're 11 yrs. old I knew it would be an ever lasting relationship. Two little guys with a lot of dreams, hopes and fears. We did so many things together some good some not so good but we enjoyed every moment and I for one wouldn't have it any other way. I have wonderful memories to last me till we meet again. Love you all my brothers and sister out in Vagas. Amy you are in my prayers each and ever night ❤ my God lessen your grief a little each and every day Judy,Steve, Nicky and Duffy and all who were lucky enough to know this wonderful human being my brother Carlo

Carlo will always hold a special place in our hearts. He always shared his contagious smile and joy with us. His stories were always mesmerizing, even though we gave him a tough time as he ventured down story lane. He was a true Tarantino, embodying the gift and joy of family. He would do anything for his family. We will miss him greatly. May we sense in our being, that Carlo now has a new body, a Heavenly body, free of the pain and frailties of his old body. He is with our Lord and Savior eagerly anticipating our reunion when we join him in Heaven. Carlo, we love you...... Dr. Craig & Susie Roles
II Corinthians 5:1 For we know that when this tent we live in now is taken down - when we die and leave these bodies - we will have wonderful new bodies in heaven, homes that will be ours forevermore, made for us by God Himself, and not by human hands.
