To the Bonacci family, Theresa, Tony, Fran and Vince, I'm sorry I could not make it to the viewing. Your father was a great guy, had a lot of fun when we played cards on the weekends at Uncle Al's house. He will be sadly missed. Stay strong and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember him, well, from his store in the Great Southern Shopping Center in the 70's. He was gracious and funny. I felt he gave me, then a kid, the advice he would give his kids. His sons, with whom I've interacted in Robinson and the (now relocated) shop in Caste Village, have honored him with their customer care and tradition of service.
Salut!

You are so full of love. I don't understand why you left this Earth I guess I was hoping for a miracle and that you would never leave me. Rest in peace my daddy at least your pain is now gone.
