To a great Uncle, I’ll never stop loving you. You were always loving and kind to everyone, and I must mention very intelligent too. Without doubt you raised the bar in being a model Christian, husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and uncle. All the years gone by you never left my heart or my thoughts. Thank you for creating such a positive impact in my life. Many became better people because you crossed their path. You definitely made it into eternity. You will be missed here as heaven celebrates your entry.

Love Always
Your Nephew
Nick

Dear John,
Remembering your smile and good nature, the many years we spent at the SMA's sorting through finances, and the sense of humor you showed, even when you could not play golf. You were a good friend and will be missed. May God grant you the gift of eternal life. RoseMarie, may God comfort you and your family.
With heartfelt sympathy and prayers,
Elvira and David High

John Preolo was my uncle and my godfather. Although we did'nt spend much time together these last few years, I will always remeber him with much love and a smile. He was my Dads best friend and I know they are together now and at peace. I am so sorry Aunt Rosemarie and my deepest condolences to all my cousins and their families.
