Where do I begin? Santo, you and I became brothers from the time as kids we both first took accordion lessons on Staten Island when the instrument was bigger than we were. We recognized our mutual love of music instantly and as we grew into the era of doo wop rock and roll, co founded our vocal group The Statens. We went on with Frank Toscano and Steve Impellizieri to record SUMMERTIME IS THE TIME FOR LOVE on Mark X Records and continued on as the Cyclone 3 with Frank to record on Phillips Records. But our relationship as brothers went far beyond music. We were in other's wedding parties and maintained our friendship until God called you home. You will always be my brother and I know you will be there to welcome me when God calls on me. Love you forever Sant. Joe
