To The Tagliaferri Family

I am saddened to hear of "Tiger's" passing - may he rest in peace.

He was a classmate, friend and fellow guardsman. He played a great short stop, stole some bases and helped put runs on the board which endeared him to our pitching staff.

As a long time member of our reunion committee, his wit and presence will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about "Tag" and would like to offer my condolences to the family and all others who new and loved him so much. My best years of service were with Tag in the 50th and those great memories will never fade away. Tag...you left a great impression on the hearts of everyone you knew. Rest in peace comrade. You will be missed but never gone from our memories.

To "Tigers" Family:

It is with deep regret that I read of Izzy's passing.
We met in 1947 when he and Muggsie Espicopo walked into Jr.4 as 7th graders. Though I was a year ahead of him, we became good friends for the next two years. I watched as he played basketball for Jr.4. Despite being the shortest player on the team, his competitive spirit made him a giant.
I still have a photo of the team which included Izzy, and looking at it, brings back memories I so enjoy.
It was at my brother in law Johnny Zuccarelli's funeral 1 1/2 years ago at our family parish; Sacred Heart that in speaking with Fr. Dennis, I learned he was Izzy's nephew. At that time I asked Fr. Dennis to extend my regards to an old and dear friend.
He was a fine man, a good athlete, who fortunately left you all with many good memories to sustain you in your time of loss.
May he now rest in a painless peace.

Sincerely
