Dear Alex, your dad was a special man to have such a wonderful family as the Vaccaro's. He surely was a great family man of love and wisdom who will be missed by many. What a tribute and legacy to such a great family who he has blessed over the years - you, your siblings, your mom, children and grand-children. Our condolences to you, Lauren and your family. Our prayers are with you all. Kate and Jason
