Dear Donna,
We are very saddened to learn of the passing of your son, James. He was undoubtedly an outstanding individual just like you and your late husband,
Jim. We cherished having you and Jim as the caring neighbors of our sister, Violet Tsiros, on Locust Street from 1998 until 2009.
Aonia ee mnimin! (Greek: May his memory be eternal!)

Sharon and family,
Sending thoughts and prayers to you and the family at this difficult time! Chris was a wonderful guy and will truely be missed! I know he was a big Cleveland Browns fan, I wished he could have seen the last Sundays big win againt the Steelers, he would have been overwhelmed with joy! If the Browns go all the way this year it will be because of one of his dreams came true! He will forever be missed but never forgotten! We all will remember what a great holiday photographer he was with the annual holiday quote"everyone in the picture, and wait for it, wait for it, smile! No one move yet And just one more picture!" May GOD Bless him and his beautiful family thru this difficult time! We will all cherish those great memories!

Jill Silvaggi, family, and friends
