Happy birthday Dad,
Remembered you were born May 4, 1925; and today is
May 4, 2025. That makes this your 100th birthday
Steve and I went to the cemetery yesterday to wish you and Mommy (who will be 99 on Wednesday) a happy birthday .
Then we went to dinner at one of your favorite spots - Piccola
Bussola.
As always the conversation included "Squatty" stories. And as always we end up laughing and missing you. But we´ll always remember.
Love you and miss you

Hi Dad
Billy and I were adding and subtracting and figured you were gone 17 years. You came up in conversation just this afternoon as you often do. We were looking at old photograph albums and Jeni, Billy´s wife, saw several pictures of you. She was amazed by your beautiful head of silver hair. We all spoke about you for awhile, smiled, felt sad you weren´t there with us and then happy we had so many memories of you to share with each other.
I miss you and love you,
Patri

Happy birthday - 99th
I´m in the airport getting ready to fly down to Hollywood. So I´ll sing a little birthday song to you from the Florida place tonight.
We´ve missed celebrating 17 birthdays (that can´t be right but I was never good at math) since you left us - 17 dinners at Picola Busica.
Have a great birthday with all your family and friends up there. I´m thinking of you on your 99th birthday on this end.
I love you and miss you

Hi Dad
Can´t believe it has been 16 years missing you like it was yesterday I missed so many things about you. Mostly our talks calling you every day just to talk about nothing`s. I went to the cemetery. You would be proud of me, cleaned everything up and left some flowers, it´s hard for me to get there sometimes but I do my best Love you me too. Donna

Happy Father´s Day, Dad
I was thinking of you as I was getting stuff ready for a BBQ tomorrow. Steve is the main Dad and Mitch is a Dad. We´ll celebrate them tomorrow.
Then I realized my Dad wasn´t here to celebrate with us. And I thought about how many Father´s
day´s have gone by without you here. Then as I thought longer it came to me that you´re really always here with me, with all of us. Not just on Father´s Day but every day.
So, happy Father´s Day. I love you, Me too

Hi Dad.
I miss you. Sometimes it seems like you were
here just yesterday. But when I think of all that´s happened in everyone´s lives in the past15 years I feel how long it´s been. There have been many weddings, many births, many holidays and many celebrations. And you´re always there with us.
Say hi to everyone. It´s good to know you´re with family.
Miss you and love you. Me too

Hi Dad,
14 years!!!!!! Such a long time. Your family has grown over the past 14 years. And your family has also lost some of our most special. Aunt Frana was 99; Mommy was 94 and Aunt Marge was 90.
So on this 14th year of you not being with us remember you have never left.
I love you and miss you,
Me too

Hi Dad
I'm sitting in your Florida Apartment. I remember coming for a visit every year. You would cook your sketties and meatballs and I would clean the mess in the kitchen with Aunt Marge. It's now been 11 years since our visits together. But I feel closer to you when I'm here. The memories stay strong. I love you and miss you -we all do and always will. ❣
Miss you dad.

I miss you - still after 10 years - and ❤ you.

Hi Dad,
You may get two "Happy Father's Day" notes from me today- I'm not sure if the first went through. But that's OK. I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you on this special day for Dad's. As we recall memories of Dad/gramps you always bring a smile (or a laugh) to everyone's face. So Happy Father's Day to a special Dad and Grandpa. And we all know you would have made the best Great- Grandpa ever!
Love you and miss you,
Patri

Dad,
Happy Father's Day 2017. Thinking of you today, as every day, but this is your special day just for being my Dad. Although we all have our families and kids and grandchildren there's still this hurt knowing you're not physically here with us - I think that's called missing someone.
So, another year another Father's day. Just know your're always loved and missed every day.
We love you
Patri

Hey Dad,
Just wanted to say Happy Father's Day. I had to go back to the beginning of your "Legacy" because I couldn't believe it had been 9 years since we last celebrated Father's Day with you- even though you didn't like celebrations. So it ends up being a day I just think about you and miss you a bit more. The memories I have of you make me smile. I think, you really were a special dad; a dad like no other!
And...
Love you, me too

Making your sauce and nonnie's meatballs for the whole tailgate on Sunday. I'll make sure to have some paisano with the peaches for you. Mom and I try every year to replicate your clams on pre-Christmas, but they never do quite come out the same. God only knows what you put in the mix. I'm sure you know, but the isles moved to Brooklyn, right down the block from me. Love and miss you every day.
Me too - Wooly
