Daddy it doesn´t get easier without you mommy Christopher Butch and all the family friends loved ones there with you all. I thank you for teaching me how to make all your and mommy´s traditions to keep going on and being proud of the amazing memories you all gave to me. As hard as it is without you all here, you are all right here with the family Jesus gave to us to share all our memories and traditions you loved.
Keep us all here healthy strong and the love of family to continue to grow everyday. Oh how you all would be with all these babies and kids, they are all as crazy as you left them here. You taught them well. I miss you beyond words. Happy New Year 2024. Give everyone kisses for us and BIG HUGS

We don't understand why because he wasn't sick but he had a heart attack. You know he recently turned 70. Watch over Charles, Seema and Lisa and the rest of the family. You are loved and missed very much. Your son Anthony ❤

Happy 91st Birthday dad. Wednesday 7-20-11 is tomorrow. I can't believe just 6 years ago we had your surprise 85th on the bus going to Atlantic City with all of your friends from Church. Eva made everyone cupcakes and you won the bingo game going down. I still see your blue eyes and beautiful smile when you called bingo. Everyone yelled at you because you shouldn't have one on your Birthday and mommy wanted your winnings as always. Dinah and John enjoyed the day also. Remember meeting your niece Christine Tuttle there and she gave you a sock full of quarters? She hugged you and kissed you and said go win big. If I remember right, you won close to $500 that day. I did good also.
The memories of our good times is what keeps me going. You weren't just my father, but my best friend also. It was hard to lose both in one person. I always think of you and miss you very much. 7-18-11 would have been your Grandson Christopher's 39th. I hope both of you are together enjoying cake and ice cream. Wish him a happy Birthday and also wish mom a happy 3rd Anniversary with you again on 8-1-11.
Love and miss you very much. Your son Anthony

Happy Easter Dad, 2005 was the last Easter we had with you. It seems a life time ago. So much has happened since then and not for he better. I remember the times waking up and going downstairs and looking for all of the hidden eggs. When Jonathan was born, Joyce and I would bring him there and he and his cousins would do the same. Those were the good years. Wish Mom and Chris happy Easter. You are loved and missed very much. Your son, Anthony

Hi Poppy,
This is one of the hardest things I have to do but I thought it was about time I did. Since you left us on that awful morning my life has never been the same. You were not just a Grandfather (Poppy) to me you were a father, and most of all my Best Friend. We could talk about anything and you would never judge or say anything negative unless it was necessary. We had so many great times together to count or to even mention, but I am so greatful that we had the last 10 months together. I loved the fact of "kidnapping" you on Friday mornings picking up Stephanie and going for breakfast at IHOP and then shopping all day. Most of all the calls from Nanny yelling at us to get you home. I would do anything to have those days back. I don't really understand why God took you away from us when you did so many amazing things in your life to help people, but I guess I'm not supposed to know. He has his reasons. I also want you to know that I did all I could to make sure Nanny was taken care of after you left us. I took her shopping, out to eat, pumpkin and apple picking, out just for the day, and anywhere she wanted to go. I did my best to make sure she was ok and as happy she could be without you. Well in the last 5 years, my life has changed so much. I had 6 back surgeries and 2 knee surgeries plus so many other things. But what I am most proud of is that I have 2 beautiful children. You got to meet Nathan (only for about 8 months) but trust me I will NEVER let him forget you, and a daughter, Kayla Paige who Nanny met for 8 months also. They are amazing children. You would be very proud of them. Nathan plays T-ball and does Mixed Martial Arts and Kayla is only 3 so she is not participating in anything yet but trust me she is a handful. I'm sorry you didn't get to meet her. She is beautiful and a real handful but she is what keeps me going. Alex is doing really good. Honestly Pop without him I really don't know how I could survive. He is amazing and I am in great hands with him. With everything I have put him through (health and me just being me) I don't know how he does it, but he always sticks by my side and I love him so much. You would be so proud of him knowing that I am in great hands. I know we have talked about our future when I was getting married, but you would be proud. As for everything else, life is hard without you and Nanny here but we cope. I guess Cope is the only word I could use cause basically thats what we do is cope. When we lost you and Nanny we lost a HUGE part of our Family. Actually we lost our family. Things are so different without you both here. Family gatherings are just that gatherings. Nothing compared to what we used to have. But we all figured that was going to happen. As for Mommy, I worry alot about her. She is such an amazing person and strong, brave, and just amazing that you would be so proud of what she is and has become. I could not have asked for a better mother, grandmother for my children and most of all a Friend. Last month she stayed in the hospital with me for 5 days. Giving up her life outside of the hospital to be by my side. Honestly, I don't know if she wasn't there I would have stayed. It was really scary but we made it through with a life lesson on my part. Life is too short live each day as if it was your last. Thats my new motto. I enjoy the littlest things that I took for granted before. In a way you taught me that a long time ago I just never listened. Sorry. But now it is permenantly embedded in my head. I just want you to know that there is not a day that goes by that your not thought about or that something reminds me of you or Nanny or that i see something and just start laughing cause something reminds me of something we either did together or laughed at together. You and Nanny have bestowed so many traditions and family morals that i am trying to bestow in my family. At Christmas time, on Christmas morning we (the adults) do a shot of Galiano together and cheer you. I remember you coming downstairs every Christmas morning with that Rifle shaped bottle of Galiano and we would all do a shot (even us kids) to cheer Christmas and life. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family while you were here and for all of the memories and traditions you have given to us. We can and will never forget you or those traditions (how could we). I love and truly miss you each and every day. Words really cannot express how much you are really missed and needed especially when I need to talk. I miss those days. Stephanie has kind of gotten the blunt of many of those conversations with me yelling at her (not really her) but what I needed to talk about. There is not a day that goes by that your not thought about or missed and I truly hope that you and Nanny are reunited (she really missed you) in "Heaven" and that your living life after death. I love and miss you so much. Thanks for listening as always I knew I could count on you. Please keep watch over all of us. Again, I love and Miss you every day. I know your watching us from above and I hope that we are making you and Nanny proud. Please give Nanny and Huge kiss and hug for us and tell her that we love and miss her so much. Again, we love and miss you and Nanny each and every day. I just hope your happy. Love your granddaughter Elaine. XOXOXO

Happy New Year Dad,
On this day in 2005, the Lord took you away from us. We will never know why, but think he had better things planned for you with him. Maybe your a Policeman there too. Whatever his reason was, we really love and miss you.
Wish mom and Chris a Happy New Year for me.

Happy 90th Birthday dad,
Tomorrow will be your 90th Birthday and it is hard to believe that it was 5 years ago, I had the surprise 85th Birthday for you on the Bus to Atlantic City with all of your friends. I remembered you crying when you got on the bus and saw your friends. You and everyone else had a nice time that day. That would be your last Birthday to spend with us. I still carry the bill in my wallet from the money we won and split.
You are loved and missed so much. Say hi to mom.
Love always, your son Anthony

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday in Heaven dad,
Today is New Years Eve 2009. It was 4 years ago today that you left us. A lot of things happened since you left, including Mommy leaving us in 2008 also. You are now with her again.
I miss our talks and times together that we use to have and you know that some of the talks we had, never worked out the way you said they should. I still don't have work, so looking to retire like I said isn't going to happen anytime soon now. The times in Marty's garage, going to football games, or just going out and having lunch and a beer with you.
Nothing has been the same or will ever be the same since you left us. Please continue to protect us and be with us. You are loved and missed so much. Say hi to mom and to Christopher for me.
Love you. Your son, Anthony

It is hard to believe that just 3 years ago, you were with us. At times it seems that your gone forever and other times it is like yesterday that you left us. But now you are with your parents and brothers and sisters and mommy and Christopher again. God bless all of you and you are loved and missed so much.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love always, your son Anthony

Happy Birthday Dad,
Tomorrow is Monday, July 20,2009. It would be your 89th birthday if you were still here. Things just keep getting worse around here since you are gone. Five years ago we went to Atlantic City for your birthday and you and I did good. It hasn't happened again for me.
Words can't express how much I miss you and wish you were still here. All of the talks that we had and the way things were. Nothing is the way you said it would be when you were gone.
Enjoy your birthday and rest in peace. You are loved and missed so much.

Hi dad,
Sal's mother Giulia has joined you on Friday, June 12 2009. I know that she is in heaven with the rest of you. Remember all of the good times we all had at BBQ's and when there was a party? I know that will continue in heaven also.
Today is June 15th and is my Stepdaughter Monica's 16th birthday. I know you would have loved Mary and her children and sorry they never got to know you.
You are loved and missed so much.

Hi Dad,
Tomorrow is Uncle Mike's birthday. As always, I am keeping your tradition up and playing his birthday. 351 came out on Thursday so lets hope 315 comes out today or tomorrow.:-)
You are missed so much and I miss our talks that we use to have. Some things that we talked about didn't go the way you thought they would, but that is ok. I would rather have you here more than anything else anyway. I have my wife and her children and Jonathan and that is what matters now.
You would have loved Mary and her children. They didn't get to meet you, but I tell them all about you and how great you were.
Wish Uncle Mike a Happy Birthday for me.
I love you and miss you.

Merry Christmas dad,
It is hard to believe that 3 years ago, you were with us and enjoyed your last Christmas and last week with us.
You can't imagine how much you are missed. I miss our times together and the talks we use to have and the times just sitting and talking in the gargae with Marty.
Last night at your house wasn't the same without you and now without mommy there.
2005 was a bad year for us and now 2008 is just as bad. We lost mommy and Christopher within a few weeks apart and now after 10 years, I lost my job.
I hope that 2009 will be a better year for us.
I love you and miss you very much.
Your son, Anthony

December 5, 2008
poppy,
it's Norma after all this time. so many things have been happening to me and I don't know how to cope on some days. some days are good, some are better, some are baaaad!
losing nanny was pretty rough around here but you know all that. have you taken my mom "thelly" under your wing and did she help you welcome nanny? well let me get down to what i want to tell you.
I have cancer, breast cancer. everything went around like a whirlwind since August and now I am sitting her, having had my first chemo treatment and i think i am experiencing everything possible that could be experienced.
what i was kind of hoping is that you could let my mom know about it. she had breast cancer also and even had one removed but i had a double mastectomy. i think the day the doctor told me that i needed to have this done, i just raised my eyes upward and somehow i knew it was the right thing to do. there really was no other choice.
so, could you guys kind of get together and help me "get through this"? i am on disability, lost my job completely but am trying so hard to keep things in perspective.
i'm sorry i haven't written to you in awhile, i really was "holding things together" but this is a chance to say happy holidays in heaven to you, nanny and 'thelly' if you would give her my messages.
thanks, poppy!

Happy Thanksgiving Dad. I know it isn't happy here because you aren't here, but you are always in my thoughts and will always be in my heart.
This will be the first holiday that you are with mom again, and also your grandson Chris. It would be nice if you were all here with us again.I love and miss you every much.
Your son, Anthony

Hi Dad,
Today is another sad day for our family. Your grandson Christopher has joined you and mommy today. I hope that you can take care of him there like you did when you were here.
You are all missed and loved. God bless you all.

Hi Dad,
Monady will be one month since you and mom are reunited again after 2 1/2 years. Things were never the same after you left us and now life is worse without both of you here.
You are both loved and missed very much.

Hi Dad,
Sorry it has been a while since we talked. On Friday, 8-1-2008, mom joined you again. It has been 2 years and 7 months since you left her and us.
Mom loves you very much and she missed you so much. Now the 2 of you are together again forever.
Please watch over MaryAnn because she needs both of you now, more than ever. There wasn't anything that could be done to save mom and MaryAnn has doubts about everything. She did the right thing by having mom in the Hospital. There were 2 Doctors and 4 Nurses working on mom for over 25 minutes. She wasn't going to come back to us by that time. The Lodi Police gave us a very nice escort for the Funeral. It was LT. Richard Policastro who also was there for your funeral and who respected you very much as his Officer and as a freind. Marty also came up but Linda couldn't make it.
You are loved and missed by everyone.
Your son, Anthony

Hi Dad,
Hi Dad,
Yesterday was Memorial Day and Mary and I went to a parade just like we did when we were young and you and Uncle Mike marched. Of cause it wasn't the same now. After the parade, they did their service and then the band played Nearer to thee my God and then taps and the 21 guns went off.
I know you picked that song for Uncle Mike's funeral and you always played it on the fife, that is why I picked it for your funeral. It was so fitting for me yesterday to have the song played, then taps then the guns because even though they didn't know you, I know God had you there with me for those few moments.
Please keep watching over mommy because she really needs you. We all need you but mommy needs you more to help her to remember to take her medication and eat.
You are loved and missed so much by everyone. Rest in peace and may God keep you blessed.
Love, your son Anthony

Tomorrow 7-19-07, we are having a Mass at Mt. Virgin for your birthday. We know it really is Friday, but tomorrow was open. 2 years ago, we went to A.C. on the bus from Mt. Virgin and had a party for you on it.
How is your new neighbor doing? On July 1st,Charlie Alaimo died and is laid to rest in the slot below you. Also last week, we had a funeral for Rosemary Shortino. She was killed July 3.
I hope that you keep watching over mommy and make sure she is always safe.

Hi Poppy: I've never known that there was a "guest book" to write in for you but I was wondering if you could kind of do me a little favor.
My mom left us last Friday and I was hoping that you would kind of watch out for her a little bit. She is kind of lonely as she really hasn't gone anywhere lately. she was in the hospital for about a month (but you know that because I sincerely believe that you guys might not be here but you know it all).
Anyway, could you just kind of keep an eye on her for me? thanks I would really appreciate it. She is now with her Mom and Dad and both her ex husbands but might need a friend.
thanks. You know, I may not have been your "family" but you treated me like I was and I sort of miss you not being here. but I do have one question for you.......was there any film in that camera you always had in your hands? I never saw a single movie that was taken. Was there film? really?
Miss you and thanks for looking out for "thelly".

Happy Father's Day dad.
This is the 2nd one without you. You are missed so much by everyone. You showed all of us how to enjoy life, but it is hard with you not being here.
You and mom gave us many of great memories and we are still trying to make more.
Rest in peace and keep watching over mom.
Miss you and love you.

Hi Dad,
This is the 3rd letter I am sending to you. The other 2 never printed from the other day.
Today is Memorial Day and it isn't the same without you. No day is the same. All of the traditions that we had are all gone now. Today we would have gone to the parade and then to 157 Farnham Ave for a BBQ. That won't ever happen again.
You are missed so much. When we have Weddings or a party, there isn't anyone walking around with the camera to continue to give us the memories that you always gave us. I gave a party to Linda & Marty because he retired and they moved to South Carolina. If you were here, I know we would have a movie to send them, but your camera has never worked since you aren't here. It only works for a few minutes and then dies because they forget to plug in the batteries.
I have a girlfreind named Mary and she is helping Jonathan a lot with his store. I know that if you were here, you would be there for him and have your friends stop in also. The family doesn't go there except for mommy and Elaine sometimes.
I hope that you are resting in peace and that you keep watching over mommy.
Love always dad.
Your son Anthony

Happy Easter dad,
This is year 2 without you being with us for Easter. I really hope that you are resting well like they say will happen when we die.
The holidays aren't the same anymore or are any other days. When God took you, he didn't just take a husband, father, grandfather or great grandfather, he also took my best friend. I miss the talks that you and I had that nobody knew we had.
Please watch over mom and protect her and help her make decisions that she making now. She has new furniture and the floors are done now. Help her with anything else she is going to do.
Jonathan is doing a little better with the store. I know if you were here you would have your friends going there and you would be there everyday with him helping him and keeping him company. He can use the help and I am doing everything that I can to help him.
Linda and Marty are moving May 15th to South Carolina. I will be loosing another great friend. Protect them while they make their move.
You are loved and missed so much. Again, Happy Easter and rest in piece dad.

Hi dad,
I hope that you are resting well. It is that time of year again when you would call me and tell me to play Uncle Mike's birthday. I still hear your voice telling me to play 315. I did last year and it came out and only paid $76.00. I hope you bring me luck again this year.
Mom is having the floors done in the house. I was there Sunday and it brought back a lot of memories seeing the hardwood and not the rug. I remembered all of the times we rolled around on the floor playing and mom yelling that we are going to scratch the floors. :-) We did have a great life with you. You are loved and missed so much.

I am going to Las vegas on business tomorrow for the week. Please watch over mommy and make sure she is ok. She keeps getting dizzy and she fell again the other day and hit her head. Give her the strength that she needs to get around, and be ok.
You are missed so much by all of us and loved by all of us also.
I will write and let you know if I get to gamble while I am there and if I win. Bring me the luck that you did on your 85th birthday in Atlantic City.

Hi dad,
I don't know if I should Happy New year, Happy Birthday, or Happy Anniversary, so I will say them all to you.
Today is Saturday, 12-30-06 and this is the DAY that you were taken away from us. The date was 12-31-05.
This past year really sucked. It started with you leaving, then Little Rosie Gallo, then Joe Lyons. Then there were a lot of friends that met you again this year.
Life here will never be the same. Mommy is doing her best to get her life together, but she has been sick. Please watch over her, and also watch over MaryAnn. They are having a hard time and need your help.
You are and always will be missed and loved.
Rest in peace dad.

It sure doesn't feel like a merry time now. Things aren't the same and will never be again.
We are going by mom for dinner as always and will open gifts. It will not be the same as looking at the chair and you sitting next to mom with that very big smile on your face as the kids open their gifts.
We all know you are with us and will watch from above.
It is hard to write this, but then it is a pleasure to write it, because you are my father, and you were also my best friend and you aren't suffering anymore, and that is the best part.
Please keep watching over mom, she loves and misses you so much as we all do.

Hi dad,
Today is Thanksgiving Day and the first without you. No day has been the same since you were taken away from us. The only thing good about you not being here, is that you are comfortable now.
What are we thankful for?
We still have mommy with us. The both of you gave all of us the best life we can ask for. I want to thank you both for that.
Have a great Thanksgiving Day
Always know your loved and missed everyday
Poppy isn't hear with us now, but in spirit, you will always be
Pray for all of us and for mommy that she stays well
Yes, it is hard to understand why God does what he does
Thank you for the greatest memories we can have
Have a peaceful rest now and forever
After life should be calm and enjoyable they say, I hope it is
Never think you ever let us down, you didn't
Kindness was always your way
Sharing was better than being alone you taught
Giving love was always what you did
It was never in you to turn your back on anyone
Very happy were the people that you took into your life
I will always love you, miss you, and thank you
Not only did God take you from your family, but your friends also
Gone are the days we will be together and talk like we use to do
I will always love you and I miss you a lot. Hugs and kisses, your son Anthony

Hi Daddy! I miss you so much. There are so little words that can express how much I/we miss you. I just want you to know that in the morning I am having another sinus operation and I know you will be right there with me and help me get through this. I hate to have this done again but the eye is hurting me and well I need to have it done. While I am incapacitated please watch Mommy and everyone and keep them healthy and safe. I love you.

October 19, 2006
Hey Poppy (my blue eyes) it's Elaine. I want to start out by saying that I miss you and love you more than words can say. I know that people (after reading this) is probably going to think that I belong in a mental hospital or at least talk to someone, and they are probably right, but hey what are you going to do. I just want you to know that I really tried my hardest to do everything in my power to help you. I know you know that I would have done anything for you (still would) just to have you here with us. I don;t tell anyone this, but I guess I'm going to let the cat out of the bag, but I am jealous of Stephanie and Valerie that their kids got to know you and that I only got 7 months for you to get to know Nathan. I happy for them, but just wish that Nathan had more time with you (as for the rest of us).
As hopefully you see, I have been going through some health related things. I'm not really sure if its true that you can hear us or see us from heaven, but I come and talk to you all the time. I have been through hell the last 6 to 7 months, but hopefully now everything is ok with my back. They finally got it right (for now at least) and I know that you were with me all of the times as my angel and I thank you for that. I really needed you there. I was really scared.
I just also wanted to tell you about Nathan. Wow he has grown up so much since the last time you saw him. He is a handful. He talks, runs, climbs on everything, swims, plays baseball (not professional yet, but hopefully someday), he laughs all the time, and he has so many of your features it drives me crazy. He scrunches his nose like your did, he loves to do nosey nosey, he loves music like you and boy oh boy he looks at every female that crosses his path. He loves to sit and watch the airplanes go by. You would have had the best times with him sitting on the front steps watching the airplanes go by and counting them. I would have loved for you to be here with him. We talk about you all the time so he knows all about you (at least for a 1 1/2 year old), but he will in the future also. He is truly amazing and definitely keeping me and Nanny young. We also just got his Halloween costume. he's going to be a talking/singing monkey. I remember last year when you bought him his first costume. It is just not the same without you here.
Alex and I got Nanny a dog. She is so cute. She weights about 4 pounds, white and is full of energy. I know its not you, but its helps her alot. We have been each others rock. With me out of commission all this time and out of work, and you not being here, we have each other to keep ourselves company. Don't worry she is doing ok. We both (all) miss you like crazy.
I sat in your chair today. All I saw was you sitting there. Me feeding you, listening to your stories (which I miss soooooo very much), and just being with you.
I really hope that they preach about you being reunited with everyone you love in heaven and that your happen, but life really has changed drastically since your gone. YOur presence is missed at every function, birthday, bbq, some silly little everyone is going by Nanny and Poppy for dinner tonight and barging in on you to every holiday. I don't ever want you to think for see or feel that anyone stuck down here has forgotten you because that would never be the case. Your unforgettable.
I will let you rest now, but know that I miss you and love you so much. Some days don;t even seem bearable to deal with, but than I think of you on my shoulder and than poof your there.
Always stay there. I love you and miss you.
Love your granddaughter

Hi Charlie. Went with Mom's favorite daughter ( Maddy ) and Sandy yesterday. We took mom to the Classic Residence which is part of the Hyatt Resort chain. We wanted Mom to see the place and know that when she and John are ready they could possibly go there. It was amazing. Just like a hotel. It was beautiful. I know they are not yet ready for it, but, I did not want Mom to think this place was like an assisted living or nursing home. Far from it - It was super.
Earlier in the day Mom and Maddy went to the Fair Lawn Senior Citizens Center. Mom did the aerobics class. She was not interested in the ceramics. She made some nice friends with some of the other seniors who were there.
Wish you could have been there also.
They also play cards - which I know you always enjoyed.
Laurie and Lindsay are doing great.
Lindsay now has a puppy. His name is Finnegan and he is so cute. He is a schnoodle ( schnozer/poodle ).
Dan and I went up to Oneanta to visit his father. You knew his dad from the police department. I saw Neil the other day and he was asking how your family is doing. He always speaks highly of you. Guess that is it for now. Will write again soon.

Hi Pop,
Just wanted to let you know Jonathan opened his own store yesterday. It's called Bargain Bin. It's a dollar store plus. Almost all of the family was there and we know you were there in thought and spirit also.You would haved loved to go shopping there. He has a little bit of everything. I just want to ask you to keep your eye on him and make sure he makes a go of it. He has wanted this for a very long time. Just watch over him and Nanny and Mary Ann too. She is having a really hard time dealing with you not being here. Please try to give her some peace of mind. And watch over the rest of the family too.
Love you,
Angie

Hi dad,
Yesterday Jonathan had his dream come true. He opened his own store. It is called the Bargain Bin and is in Rochelle Park. Only a couple of the family weren't there to be with him on this day and you were missed so much. Jonathan and I stopped to see you before we went to the store to open.You would have been so proud of him as he cut the ribbon with the Mayor. Mommy was there as so was Stephanie,Sal, Stacey. Salvatore, Elaine,Alex, Nathan, Valerie,Christyn, Norma & Bruce, John & Dinah, Angie, Joyce, Evan, Bradan, Brandon, Betty, Evan mother,Eva, Brandan's mother, and a whole lot of the Townspeople.
Please keep watching over mommy and everyone else and help Jonatha to make the store go well.
I, as well as everyone the knows you, miss you and love you so much.
Your son Anthony.
