My dear Uncle you brought such joy to our family in so many ways. Your smile and your endless stories will be greatly missed. You once said that you didn't know anyone who enjoyed life as much as you, and you know what, I believe that! May God Bless all who knew you as you were one of a kind and will be missed by many. I don't know how to go on with life without you here to talk to. Just the sound of your voice could pick up my spirits. I miss you so very much, but I know in my heart that you are in a better place without any more pain. I know that Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Carol, and my Mom are over- joyed having you with them. May God keep you in his loving care. Until we meet again, remember I will never stop loving or remembering you. L'amo mio zio caro, Love Your Niece, Darlene
