Bruce, Janis, Dean and Mark,

I am so sorry to hear that your dad, my godfather, Mal passed away -- Mary Jane saw it on Facebook. He was such a dear friend to my parents Tarz and Gert and I have fond memories of him over the course of my whole life. I think I last saw him at Mom's funeral. When Dad died,
"Uncle Malley," as we called him as kids, brought and gave us some photos he'd saved, including one of their Braddock High football team. He will be missed.

Love,
Donna Matrazzo

I am honored to be the third in our family to bear the name. It started with my Grandfather, then given to Uncle Mal and in 1944 to me. I could not walk in the shoes of my Uncle Mal. He was the youngest of 7 children who all have passed before him,. a WWII Vet, a Steelworker, Union President.and a father figure for us. God Rest your Soul Robert Joseph Garritano II
