He was proud of his children. What a great man. West Haven lost one it's finest citizens. He will be missed. My thoghts and prayers are with all of you in your time of need. Keep in mind he will always be with us in Spirit. Dr. Suess once said " do not cry because it is over, smile because it happened". I will always smile when I think of him. Charles Cassella.

"If Tears Could Build A Stairway"

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
