Zio,
One of my fondest memories is your amazing way of telling stories. You had a way of putting a spin to a true story that would have everyone laughing hysterical with real tears. Anybody hearing one for the first time would have to ask.. did that really happen? The answer always being… it sure did. Your strength and leadership guided many to this country. We truly are lucky to have had you in our lives. You fought a long courageous battle. RIP.
We love you RIP Zio Calafiore
