I feel blessed to have crossed paths with Vito and you Anne. He was a strong man with a strong character. He raised a wonderful strong devoted daughter. I will always remember him whenever I see a chocolate coin. I feel special that he always remembered me at Christmas. It has been a pleasure to be his "girlfriend" at the bank. I know that it will take time for you to readjust, I have learned a lot about sacrifices that we make for ones we love from you.
I pray that you and your family will find strength, peace and lots of love to guide through this difficult time. May fond memories make you smile, you will meet again in due time and he may even send you a thunderbolt every once in awhile to let you know he's not far away. Sending hugs.

I remember Uncle Vito on all the Christmases, New Years, and other holidays we celebrated as an extended family during my childhood. I have fond recollections of the large and abundant holiday meals, the good stories, the great laughs, and the games we played to pass the time. He will be missed.

I have fond memories of my Uncle Vito --of his bravery and courage and of his strong character and loving nature. Our family has lost another cherished member and we are sad, but we are fortunate and grateful for the important place they held in our lives.
