I had only met Luca a couple of times at family events but he stood out in my memory. First, he is the namesake for my son, Luca Cingolani also. But secondly when he met my son he took him under his wing and paid him that special attention that toddlers love. Little 2-3 year Luca loved the special attention his -third cousin I guess- gave him throughout the day and most specially when we were leaving to go home he said, "be good, little man...and left him with a sly wink and a smile.
From Paul, Kristy, Luca and Matteo Cingolani with that same smile and a wink,
Godspeed Luca!
