Leona and family, I am so sorry to read of the passing of your dad. All of the Mazzamurro family always made me feel so welcome in your home. His quiet nature but knowing smile always gave the impression that he was so proud of all of you. The same goes for your mom. I still have the ceramic figure of "Chuck the Burncoat Coach" that your grandmother made for me. He broke his leg several years ago, but we put him back together, just like your dad would have done. My thoughts are with you always. Fondly, Paul Daley

Nick was a great mentor, Co-worker and friend at Wyman-Gordon. I still can hear Nick say , Hey Kid , when he wanted me to check the press fire system. When my wife and I would see Nick and Leona at Home Depot , we received that big smile and hand shake, even though memories were hard. Rest In Peace great friend, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
