My sympathies on your loss. It is a difficult time, I know. I retain many happy memories of playing with Chuck in Regent Square all those years ago as our families were on either end of the alley we shared as our playground and of (occasionally) sneaking into Mr. Sapienza's workshop. My brother Jody grew up with Danny. My condolences to all the family.

My family wants to extend our heartfelt sympathy to the Sapienza family. Our family enjoyed being your neighbor in Regent Square for many years. My sister Barbara and Gina were best of friends. Your dad was such a nice man. We were touched to see him, Katy, and Gina at the funeral home 9 yrs. ago whenever my dad passed away. I live in Texas now, as does Judy. Diane wanted to go to the funeral home last night, but my mom was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon. God Bless all of you. The Hudale Family (Irene, Chris, Diane, Judy, and Barb)

I was very saddened to learn of Julius's death. He and I taught together at Westinghouse and at Peabody for many years. May he rest in peace and may God bless all of you. Vince Carr (former Principal, Peabody High School)
