My sincere condolences to all the family. Pop was a very kind man with a lovely smile. He treated everyone like family and I appreciate his kindness when I worked in the restaurant. May he rest in peace.

My family and I send prayers to the entire family during this difficult time. I don't get to visit MB as often as I would have liked since I moved away. I used to work at Pizza Roma from high school into my early 20s, Mom and Pop always treated me like one of the family and George/Mike will always be like brothers to me. Pop, I remember how you would always like to take care of everyone and it was always a joy working with you in the kitchen...watching either soccer or wrestling together, we shared many laughs for sure. You will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget you. May God be with you, your family, and your spirit always.
