Dear Lyuba, it is me, Michael Massimo, Vincenzos son (Born in Bad Harzburg, Germany). You visited us in the early 80s; I still have some photographs. I never forgot you and asked Vincenzo from time to time about you. I am now 42, living in Hamburg with my wife Lena (she is from Krasnoturinsk) and three sons Luis, Vito and Julius. I am very, very sorry that Cristoforo passed away; I wish I can visit you a his siblings in the US.
I would love to share some memories via email between Hamburg and Connecticut
All the best for you

Dear Lyuba,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved husband, Cristoforo. He was a hard working, special person, and you both made a perfect loving couple who worked well together at your busy restaurant, Lisiano's. I will always treasure his kindness in giving my son, Stefan, a job working together with him, cooking in the kitchen. It was a learning experience for Stefan which he was very excited about and he would mention his learning experience to us each day. He will always treasure those memories.
Lyuba, we will all treasure the memories of our visits to Lisiano's and of our special friendship dating back many years. We send our deepest condolences and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
The Nagorski Family

We are so sorry for your loss Lyuba. Cristoforo was such a good man. He was a hard worker and always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He will be missed by many.
