Father, having you in my life meant more to me than you'll ever know. From serving masses with you to being excited to run errands over to the rectory just so I can spend time with you and Mary. You were always so happy, genuine, and kind. Anytime I would go to mass outside of St. Donato, whether it was deployment or living in another state, I always compared every mass to your and NOTHING could even come close to comparison. Now you're God's right hand man. Please keep a watchful eye over us all.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please take comfort in the words found at 2nd Thessalonians 2: 16,17.

Father Buccafurni,
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini was the cornerstone of St. Donato Parish, and you were the stabilizing rock of the Parish for so long. Thanks to your dedication, some excellent seed has been scattered. Rest easy, it will continue to flourish far beyond North 65th Street.
